[Verse 1]
C The only girl I've eGver loved
C Was born with roses in Gher eyes
C But then they buried her aGlive
[Pre-Chorus]
One evening Dninghty fourtyCfive
With just her Dsister at her Gside
And only Dweeks before the Cguns
All came and Drained on everyGone
Now she's a Dlittle boy in Spain C
Playing piaDnos filled with Gflames On empty rings D
around the sunC All sing to say D
my dream hasC come G
[Chorus]
But now we must Cpick up everyG piece
Of the Clife we used toG love
Just to Ckeep ourselves
At Gleast enough to carryD on
[Verse 2]
C And now we ride the cirGcus wheel
C With your dark brother wrapped Gin white
C Says it was good to be aGlive
[Pre-Chorus]
But now he Drides a comet's Cflame
And won't be Dcoming back aGgain
The Earth looks Dbetter from a Cstar
That's right aDbove from where you Gare
He didn't Dmean to make you cryC With sparks that ring D
and bullets Gfly On empty rings D
around your heartC The world just screams D
and falls aCpart G
[Chorus]
But now we must Cpick up everyG piece
Of the Clife we used toG love
Just to Ckeep ourselves
At Gleast enough to carryD on
[Bridge]
And Ghere's where yourC mother sleeps G
And here is the Croom where your brothers wereG born
IndentationsC in the sheets G
Where their bodies once Cmoved but don't move anyDmore
[Outro 1]
And it's soC sad to Gsee the Cworld agGree
That they'd Crather see their faGces fill with flies D
GAll when I'd Cwant to Gkeep white Droses in their Geyes
[Outro 2]
