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