Intro: C, ("...two, one-two-three-four")
DO SOL x2
DO SOL
The only girl I've ever loved
DO SOL
Was born with roses in her eyes
DO SOL
But then they buried her alive
RE DO
One evening nineteen-forty-five
RE SOL
With just her sister at her side
RE DO
And only weeks before the guns
RE SOL
All came and rained on everyone
RE DO
Now she's a little boy in Spain
RE SOL
Playing pianos filled with flames
RE DO
On empty rings around the sun
RE DO SOL
All sing to say my dream has come
DO SOL
But now we must pick up every piece
DO SOL
Of the life we used to love
DO
Just to keep ourselves
SOL RE
At least enough to carry on
(same as verse1)
And now we ride the circus wheel
With your dark brother wrapped in white
Says it was good to be alive
But now he rides a comet's flame
And won't be coming back again
The Earth looks better from a star
That's right above from where you are
He didn't mean to make you cry
With sparks that ring and bullets fly
On empty rings around your heart
The world just screams and falls apart
SOL LA DO DO SOL
And here's where your mother sleeps
SOL LA DO DO SOL RE
And here is the room where your brothers were born
SOL LA DO DO SOL
Indentions in the sheets
SOL LA DO DO SOL RE
Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore
DO SOL DO SOL
And it's so sad to see the world agree
DO SOL RE
That they'd rather see their faces filled with flies
SOL LA DO DO SOL DO
All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes
