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 to say my dream has come
C G
But now we must pick up every piece
C G
Of the life we used to love
C
Just to keep ourselves
G D
At least 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
G 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 C 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
Just to keep ourselves
G D
At least enough to carry on
G A C G
And here' s where your mother sleeps
G A C G D
And here is the room where your brothers were born
G A C G
Indentions in the sheets
G A C G 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 filled with flies
G A C G D G C G C D C G
All when I' d want to keep white roses in their eyes
