G#
Five years left of crying

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

         D#
i heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
           Cm
there were boys toys, electric guns and TVs
 G#
my brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
         Fm
i had to cram so many things to store everything in there
               G#
and all the fat, skinny people
Fm                        G#
and all the tall short, people
Fm                   D#
and all the nobody people
G#                       A#
and all the somebody people

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

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

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

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

D#
we got five years stuck on my eyes
Cm

G#
