F#
pushing through the market square
D#m
so many mothers sighing
G#m

B
Five years left of crying

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

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

and all the somebody people
                                G#m      B
never thought i'd need, so many people

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

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

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

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

F#
we got five years stuck on my eyes
D#m
