Five YearsChords

 G Em A C

G
Pushing through the market square
Em
So many mothers sighing
A
News had just come over
       C
We had five years left to cry in

G
News guy wept and told us
Em
Earth was really dying
A
Cried so much his face was wet
C
Then I knew he was not lying

        G
I heard telephones, opera house,
Favourite melodies
      Em
I saw toys, boys, electric irons and TVs
   A
My brain hurt like a warehouse
It had no room to spare
         C
I had to cram so many things to store
Everything in there

                        Am     C
And all the fat, skinny people
                        Am     C
And all the tall, short people
                   G     C
And all the nobody people
                     D
And all the somebody people
                                 Am     C
I never thought I'd need so many people

G
A girl my age went off her head
Em
Hit some tiny children
A
If the Black hadn't have pulled her off
  C
I think she would have killed them
G
A soldier with a broken arm
Em
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
      C
And a queer threw up at the sight of that

G
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour
Em
Drinking milkshakes cold and long
A
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
C      
Don't think you knew you were in this song

           G
And it was cold and it rained
so I felt like an actor
      Em
And I thought of Ma 
and I wanted to get back there
     A
Your face, your race
The way that you talk
  C
I kiss you, you're beautiful
I want you to walk

          G
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Em
Five years, what a surprise
          A
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
C
Five years, that's all we've got

          G
We've got five years, what a surprise
Em
Five years, stuck on my eyes
          A
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
C
Five years, that's all we've got

          G
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Em
Five years, what a surprise
A
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
C
Five years, that's all we've got

          G
We've got five years, what a surprise
          Em
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
          A
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
C
Five years, that's all we've got

G

Em
Five years
A
Five years
C
