_ [C] The only girl I've [G] ever loved
_ [C] Was born with roses [G] in her _ [C] eyes
But then they buried [G] her alive
One [D] evening, [C] 1945
With [D] just a sister [G] at her side
And [D] only weeks [G] before the guns all [D] came
And rained on [G] everyone
Now [D] she's a little [G] boy in Spain
[D] Playing pianos filled [G] with flames
Drawing [D]
dreams around [C] the sun
While [D] singing to say my [C] dream has come
[G] _ Now [C] we must pack up [G] every piece
Of [C] the life we [G] used to have
So [C] we can give [G] ourselves at least
Enough to [D] carry _ _ on
_ _ _ [C] _ Now we ride this [G] circus we own
[C] But our dark brother [G] rides in _ [C] white
Said it was good to [G] be alive
But [D] now he rides the [C] common flame
He [D] won't be coming [G] back again
The [D] earth looks better [C] from a star
[D] That's right above from [G] where you are
[D] He didn't mean to [G] make you cry
The [D] sparks that ring will [G] inspire
On empty rings [D] around your heart
The world will scream when [C] he falls apart
_ [G] _ But now [C] we must pack up [G] every piece
[C] Of the life we [G] used to have
[C] Just to give [G] ourselves at least
Enough to [D] carry _ _ on _
I see [C] blue things, I [G] _ _ _ _
see [C] blue things
[G] I am [D] brothers _ and [C] vengeance [G] in my sheath
Where the bodies [C] once lived was _ [D] unmoving
And it's [C] so sad to see the world [G] agree
That [C] they'd rather see [G] their faces [D] filled with flies
[A] But when [C] I'm on the [G] moon, I keep [D] flying towards the races [G] They're alive _ _ _ _ _
