Chords with lyrics
Intro: G+G
Muted strumming during "One... Two... ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR!"
G+G
G+G
The only girl I've ever loved
G+G
Was born with roses in her eyes
G+G
But then they buried her alive
C majorC
One evening Nine-teen-forty-five
G+G
With just her sister at her side
C majorC
And only weeks before the guns
G+G
All came and rained on everyone
C majorC
Now she's a little boy in Spain
G+G
Playing pianos filled with flames
C majorC
On empty rings around the sun
G+G
All sing to say my dream has come
G+G
But now we must pick up every piece
G+G
Of this life we used to love
G+G
Just to keep ourselves at least
D MajorD
Enough to carry on!
G+G
And now we ride the circus wheel
G+G
With your dark brother wrapped in white
G+G
Says it was good to be alive
C majorC
But now he rides a comet's flame
G+G
And won't be coming back again
C majorC
The Earth looks better from a star
G+G
That's right above from where you are
C majorC
He didn't mean to make you cry
G+G
With sparks that ring and bullets fly
C majorC
On empty rings around your heart
G+G
The world just screams and falls apart
G+G
But now we must pick up every piece
G+G
Of the life we used to love
G+G
Just to keep ourselves at least
D MajorD
Enough to carry on!
G+G
And here's where your mother sleeps
D MajorD
And here is the room where your brothers were born
G+G
In-den-tions in the sheets
D MajorD
Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore
G+G
And it's so sad to see the world agree
D MajorD
That they'd rather see their faces fill with flies
G+G
All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes
