Pushing through the market square, [Em] so many mothers sighing,
[A]
News had just come over, [C] we had five years left crying,
[G]
News guy wept and told us, [E]
her [Em] was really dying,
[A]
Cried so much his face was wet, [B]
[C] then I knew he was not lying,
I heard [G] telephones, opera house, favourite melodies,
I saw [Em] boys, toys, electric irons and TVs,
[A] Our brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare,
I had to [C] cram so many things to store, everything in there,
And all the fat skinny people, [C] and all the tall [Am] short people,
[C]
And all the nobody [G] people, [D] I never thought I'd need so [Am] many people,
[C]
[G] Girl my age went off ahead, [Em] hit some tiny children,
[A] If the blacks hadn't pulled her off, [C] I think she would have killed them,
A soldier with a broken arm, a [Em] stare to the wheels of a Cadillac,
[A] The cops knelt and kissed the feet of a priest,
And a [C] queer threw up at the sight of that,
[G] I think I saw you in an ice cream parlor, [Em] drinking milkshakes cold and long,
[A] Smiling and waving and looking so fine, [C] don't think you knew you were in the song,
And it [G] was cold and it rained, so I felt like an actor, [Em] and I thought of more,
I wanted to get there, your [A] face, your race, the way that you talk,
I [C] miss you, you're beautiful, I'll do what we gotta [G] do,
Five years, stuff gone mild, [Em]
five years,
I've got [A]
five years, my brain hurts a lot, [C]

That's all we got, [G] we've got five years, what a surprise,
