Verse 1:
G                                                       Em
 Pushing through the market square,                       so many mothers sighing
A7sus4              A7                                  C9
 News had just come over,                        we had five years  left to cry in
G                                                G D/F# Em
 News guy wept when he told us,                         earth  was really dying
A7sus4                      A7                          C9
 Cried so much his face was wet,                 then I knew he was not lying

Pre-Chorus 1:
         G                        GM7
 I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
   D/F# Em
 I saw  boys, toys, electric irons and T.V.'s
    A7sus4                              A7
 My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
          C9
 I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
             Am                        C/B C/G
 And all the fat-skinny people,
                  C/B   Am                 C/G
 and all the tall-short people,
                    G                      C/G
 and all the nobody people,
                      D7
 and all the somebody people
                                    Am       C/G
 I never thought I'd need   so many people

Verse 2:
G                                               G D/F# Em
 A girl my age went off her head,                        and hit some tiny children
A7sus4                            A7                   C9
 If the black hadn't a-pulled her off,               I think  she would have killed them
G                 GM7                       G     D/F# Em
 A soldier with a broken arm                fixed his  stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A7sus4                      A7                              C9
 A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest,    and then a queer threw up at the sight of that
G                        GM7                    G D/F# Em
 I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlor,             drinking milk shakes cold and long
A7sus4                  A7                             C9
 Smiling and waving and looking so fine,             I don't think you knew you were in this song

Pre-Chorus 2:
            G                                          D/F#
 And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
       Em
 And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
      A7sus4               A7
 Your face, your race, the way that you talk
   C9
 I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk

Chorus:
           G                            D/F#
 We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
 Em
 Five years, what a surprise
           A7sus4         A7
 We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
 C9
 Five years, that's all we've got
           G                            D/F#
 We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
 Em
 Five years, what a surprise
           A7sus4         A7
 We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
 C9
 Five years, that's all we've got

Outro:
           G                       G D/F#
 We've got five years
 Em
 Five years
 A7sus4            A7
 Five years
 C9                                G
 Five years, that's all we've got
