Five years left of crying

news guy wept and told us
        Dm

       A#
then i knew, he was not lying

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

F
girl my age went off her head
Dm
hit some tiny children
Gm
and if the black hadn't have pulled her off
        A#

soldier with a broken arm
Dm
used to stare into the wheels of a cadillac
Gm
cop knelt to kiss the feet of a priest
       A#

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

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