C, G

C (x32010@1)                      GThe (320003@1)only girl I've ever loved
C (x32010@1)                        GWas (320003@1)born with roses in her eyes
C (x32010@1)                       GBut (320003@1)then they buried her alive
            D (xx0232@1)              COne (x32010@1)evening Nine-teen-forty-five
              D (xx0232@1)            GWith (320003@1)just her sister at her side
         D (xx0232@1)               CAnd (x32010@1)only weeks before the guns
             D (xx0232@1)            GAll (320003@1)came and rained on everyone
            D (xx0232@1)            CNow (x32010@1)she's a little boy in Spain
          D (xx0232@1)               GPlaying (320003@1)pianos filled with flames
         D (xx0232@1)              COn (x32010@1)empty rings around the sun
            D (xx0232@1)              GAll (320003@1)sing to say my dream has come

C (x32010@1)           GBut (320003@1)now we must pick up every piece
        C (x32010@1)             GOf (320003@1)this life we used to love
        C (x32010@1)               GJust (320003@1)to keep ourselves at least
                DEnough (xx0232@1)to carry on!

C (x32010@1)                        GAnd (320003@1)now we ride the circus wheel
C (x32010@1)                               GWith (320003@1)your dark brother wrapped in white
C (x32010@1)                     GSays (320003@1)it was good to be alive
           D (xx0232@1)             CBut (x32010@1)now he rides a comet's flame
              D (xx0232@1)         GAnd (320003@1)won't be coming back again
                D (xx0232@1)           CThe (x32010@1)Earth looks better from a star
              D (xx0232@1)                 GThat's (320003@1)right above from where you are
           D (xx0232@1)             C (x32010@1)  
He didn't mean to make you cry
                 D (xx0232@1)              GWith (320003@1)sparks that ring and bullets fly
         D (xx0232@1)               COn (x32010@1)empty rings around your heart
               D (xx0232@1)               GThe (320003@1)world just screams and falls apart



C (x32010@1)           GBut (320003@1)now we must pick up every piece
       C (x32010@1)             GOf (320003@1)the life we used to love
        C (x32010@1)          GJust (320003@1)to keep ourselves at least
                DEnough (xx0232@1)to carry on!



G (320003@1)  A (x02220@1)    B (x2444x@1)   C (x32010@1)      GAnd (320003@1)here's where your mother sleeps
  G (320003@1) A (x02220@1)B (x2444x@1)    C (x32010@1)             G (320003@1)           DAnd (xx0232@1)here is the room where your brothers were born
 G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) B (x2444x@1) C (x32010@1)     GIn-den-tions (320003@1)in the sheets
            C (x32010@1)          G (320003@1)            C (x32010@1)     DWhere (xx0232@1)their bodies once moved but don't move anymore
            C (x32010@1)    G (320003@1)     C (x32010@1)    GAnd (320003@1)it's so sad to see the world agree
            C (x32010@1)              G (320003@1)              DThat (xx0232@1)they'd rather see their faces fill with flies
             C (x32010@1)                D (xx0232@1)             GAll (320003@1)when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes
