Placebo - Five Yearsadd

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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