Placebo - Five Yearsadd

A
pushing through the market square
F#m
so many mothers sighing
Bm
news had just come over, we have
D
Five years left of crying

A
news guy wept and told us
        F#m
he said earth, was really dying
Bm
cried so much his face was wet
       D
then i knew, he was not lying

         A
i heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
           F#m
there were boys toys, electric guns and TVs
 D
my brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
         Bm
i had to cram so many things to store everything in there
               D
and all the fat, skinny people
Bm                        D
and all the tall short, people
Bm                   A
and all the nobody people
D                       E
and all the somebody people
                                Bm      D
never thought i'd need, so many people

A
girl my age went off her head
F#m
hit some tiny children
Bm
and if the black hadn't have pulled her off
        D
then i think, she would have killed them

A
soldier with a broken arm
F#m
used to stare into the wheels of a cadillac
Bm
cop knelt to kiss the feet of a priest
       D
and a queer threw up at the sight of that, well

A
think i saw you in an ice-cream parlour
F#m
drinking milkshakes cold and long
Bm
smiling and waving and looking so fine
D
don't think you knew you were in this song

A
and it was cold, and it rained, so i felt like an actor
F#m
and i thought of ma, and i wanted to get back there
Bm
your face, your waist, the way that you talk
D
i miss you you're beautiful

A
we got five years stuck on my eyes
F#m
five years, what a surprise, we got
Bm
five years, my brain hurts alot
D
five years, that's all we got
A               A
we got, five years
