Placebo - Five Yearsadd

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

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

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

A#
girl my age went off her head
Gm
hit some tiny children
Cm
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
Gm
used to stare into the wheels of a cadillac
Cm
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
Gm
drinking milkshakes cold and long
Cm
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
Gm
and i thought of ma, and i wanted to get back there
Cm
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
Gm
five years, what a surprise, we got
Cm
five years, my brain hurts alot
D#
five years, that's all we got
A#               A#
we got, five years
