Intro:
C
('two, one, two, three, four')
C - G - C - G
C G
the only girl i've ever loved
C G
was born with roses in her eyes
C G
but then they buried her alive
D C
one evening nineteen forty-five
D G
with just her sister at her side
D C
and only weeks before the guns
D G
all came and rained on everyone
D C
now she's a little boy in Spain
D G
playing pianos filled with flames
D C
on empty rings around the sun
D C G
all sing the same our dream has come
C G
but now we must pick up every piece
C G
of the life we used to love
C G
just to keep ourselves at least
D
enough to carry on
and now we ride the circus wheel
with your dark brother wrapped in white
says it was good to be alive
but now you ride the comets flame
it won't be coming back again
the earth looks better from a star
that's right above from where you are
he didn't mean to make you cry
the spark that rings and bullets fly
on empty rings around your heart
the world just screams and falls apart
but now we must pick up every piece
of the life we used to love
just to keep ourselves at least
enough to carry on
G A B C G
and here's where your mother sleeps
G A B C G D
and here is the room where our brothers were born
G A B C G
indentions in the sheets
G A B C G D
where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore
C G
and it's so sad to see
C G
the world agree
C G D
that they'd rather see their faces filled with flies
G A B C G D G
all when i want to keep white roses in their eyes
C - G - C - G (a couple of times)
