Intro: C..."two, one-two-three-four"
C G (x2)
CG
The only girl I've ever loved
CG
Was born with roses in her eyes
CG
But then they buried her alive
DC
One evening nineteen-forty-five
DG
With just her sister at her side
DC
And only weeks before the guns
DG
All came and rained on everyone
DC
Now she's a little boy in Spain
DG
Playing pianos filled with flames
DC
On empty rings around the sun
DCG
All sing to say my dream has come
(chorus)
CG
But now we must pick up every piece
CG
Of the life we used to love
C
Just to keep ourselves
GD
At least enough to carry on
(verse)
CG
And now we ride the circus wheel
CG
With your dark brother wrapped in white
CG
Says it was good to be alive
DC
But now he rides a comet's flame
DG
And won't be coming back again
DC
The Earth looks better from a star
DG
That's right above from where you are
DC
He didn't mean to make you cry
DG
With sparks that ring and bullets fly
DC
On empty rings around your heart
DCG
The world just screams and falls apart
(chorus)
CG
But now we must pick up every piece
CG
Of the life we used to love
C
Just to keep ourselves
GD
At least enough to carry on
C6: 002010 (Am7 E)
(verse)
GAC6CG
And here's where your mother sleeps
GAC6CGD
And here is the room where your brothers were born
GAC6CG
Indentions in the sheets
GAC6CGD
Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore
CGCG
And it's so sad to see the world agree
CGD
That they'd rather see their faces filled with flies
GAC6CGDG
All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes
(at verse pace)
CGCGCDC
(In rapid succession)
Em, Am, G (let ring)
