Chords
[Verse 1]
G Pushing through the market square
Em So many mothers sighing
A News had just come over
We had Cfive years left to cry in
G News guy wept and told us
EmEarth was really dying
A Cried so much his face was wet
Then I Cknew he was not lying
I heard Gtelephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I saw Emboys, toys, electric irons and TV's
My Abrain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to Ccram so many things to store everything in there
[Bridge]
And all the fat, Amskinny people C
And all the tall, short Ampeople C
And all the nobody Gpeople C
And all the somebody Dpeople
I never thought I'd need so many Ampeople C
[Verse 2]
G A girl my age went off her head
Em Hit some tiny children
A If the Black hadn't have pulled her off
I Cthink she would have killed them
G A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his Emstare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And a Cqueer threw up at the sight of that
G I think I saw you in an icecream parlor
Em Drinking milk shakes cold and long
ASmiling and waving and looking so fine
C Don't think you knew you were in this song
And it was Gcold and it rained, so I felt like an actor
And I Emthought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your Aface, your race, the way that you talk
I Ckiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
[Chorus]
We've got Gfive years, stuck on my eyes
EmFive years, what a surprise
We've got Afive years, my brain hurts a lot
CFive years, that's all we've got
We've got Gfive years, what a surprise
EmFive years, stuck on my eyes
We've got Afive years, my brain hurts a lot
CFive years, that's all we've got
We've got Gfive years, stuck on my eyes
EmFive years, what a surprise
We've got Afive years, my brain hurts a lot
CFive years, that's all we've got
We've got Gfive years, what a surprise
We've got Emfive years, stuck on my eyes
We've got Afive years, my brain hurts a lot
CFive years, that's all we've got
G Five years
Em Five years
A Five years
CFive years
