Holland, 1945
guitar chords lyrics
Intro: C, G, C, G
Muted strumming during "One... Two... ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR!"
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 Nine-teen-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 G
All sing to say my dream has come
C G
But now we must pick up every piece
C G
Of this life we used to love
C G
Just to keep ourselves at least
D
Enough to carry on!
C G
And now we ride the circus wheel
C G
With your dark brother wrapped in white
C G
Says it was good to be alive
D C
But now he rides a comet's flame
D G
And won't be coming back again
D C
The Earth looks better from a star
D G
That's right above from where you are
D C
He didn't mean to make you cry
D G
With sparks that ring and bullets fly
D C
On empty rings around your heart
D G
The world just screams and falls apart
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!
G A B C G
And here's where your mother sleeps
G A B C G D
And here is the room where your brothers were born
G A B C G
In-den-tions in the sheets
C G C D
Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore
C G C G
And it's so sad to see the world agree
C G D
That they'd rather see their faces fill with flies
C D G
All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes
C G C G
