E|---3--3-2--0---| G pushing through the market square Em so many mothers sighing Am news had just come over, we have C Five years left of crying G news guy wept and told us Em he said earth, was really dying Am cried so much his face was wet C then i knew, he was not lying G i heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies Em there were boys toys, electric guns and TVs C my brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare Am i had to cram so many things to store everything in there C and all the fat, skinny people Am C and all the tall short, people Am G and all the nobody people C D and all the somebody people Am C never thought i'd need, so many people G girl my age went off her head Em hit some tiny children Am and if the black hadn't have pulled her off C then i think, she would have killed them G soldier with a broken arm Em used to stare into the wheels of a cadillac Am cop knelt to kiss the feet of a priest C and a queer threw up at the sight of that, well G think i saw you in an ice-cream parlour Em drinking milkshakes cold and long Am smiling and waving and looking so fine C don't think you knew you were in this song G and it was cold, and it rained, so i felt like an actor Em and i thought of ma, and i wanted to get back there Am your face, your waist, the way that you talk C i miss you you're beautiful G we got five years stuck on my eyes Em five years, what a surprise, we got Am five years, my brain hurts alot C five years, that's all we got G (ending chords are Gs) we got, five years
