Placebo - Five Yearsadd

B
pushing through the market square
G#m
so many mothers sighing
C#m
news had just come over, we have
E
Five years left of crying

B
news guy wept and told us
        G#m
he said earth, was really dying
C#m
cried so much his face was wet
       E
then i knew, he was not lying

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

B
girl my age went off her head
G#m
hit some tiny children
C#m
and if the black hadn't have pulled her off
        E
then i think, she would have killed them

B
soldier with a broken arm
G#m
used to stare into the wheels of a cadillac
C#m
cop knelt to kiss the feet of a priest
       E
and a queer threw up at the sight of that, well

B
think i saw you in an ice-cream parlour
G#m
drinking milkshakes cold and long
C#m
smiling and waving and looking so fine
E
don't think you knew you were in this song

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

B
we got five years stuck on my eyes
G#m
five years, what a surprise, we got
C#m
five years, my brain hurts alot
E
five years, that's all we got
B               B
