Intro: C ("two, one-two-three-four") 
       C G x2

C                    G
The only girl I've ever loved
C                      G
Was born with roses in her eyes
C                        G
But then they buried her alive 
            D              C
One evening nineteen-forty-five
              D             G
With just her sister at her side 
         D                C
And only weeks before the guns 
             D             G
All came and rained on everyone 
            D             C
Now she's a little boy in Spain 
        D                  G
Playing pianos filled with flames
         D                C
On empty rings around the sun
            D            C      G
All sing to say my dream has come


	                C             G
	But now we must pick up every piece	
	       C               G
	Of the life we used to love 
	        C  
	Just to keep ourselves
	   G                D   
	At least enough to carry on

C                      G
And now we ride the circus wheel
C                      G
With your dark brother wrapped in white
C                       G
Says it was good to be alive
           D               C
But now he rides a comet's flame 
             D            G
And won't be coming back again
                D             C
The Earth looks better from a star
              D                   G
That's right above from where you are
          D                C
He didn't mean to make you cry
                 D                G
With sparks that ring and bullets fly
         D                 C
On empty rings around your heart
               D           C      G
The world just screams and falls apart 


	                C             G
	But now we must pick up every piece	
	       C               G
	Of the life we used to love 
	        C  
	Just to keep ourselves
	   G                D   
	At least enough to carry on


    G                C*       G 
And here's where your mother sleeps
    G           C               G             D
And here is the room where your brothers were born
G         C*      G
Indentions in the sheets 
            G           C               G       D
Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore
            C      G       C     G
And it's so sad to see the world agree 
            C                G                 D
That they'd rather see their faces filled with flies
G           C       G          D             G*
Oh, and I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes
