Holland, 1945 Acoustic by Neutral Milk Hotel (capo on the 1st) - not necessary, but that's how I like it Cadd9 G The only girl I've ever loved Cadd9 G Was born with roses in her eyes Cadd9 G But then they buried her alive D One evening 1945 Cadd9 D G With just her sister at her side D Cadd9 And only weeks before the guns D G All came and rained on everyone D Cadd9 Now she's a little boy in Spain D G Playing pianos filled with flames D Cadd9 On empty rings around the sun D Cadd9 G All sing to say my dream has come Cadd9 G But now we must pick up every piece Cadd9 G Of the life we used to love Cadd9 Just to keep ourselves G D At least enough to carry on Cadd9 G And now we ride the circus wheel Cadd9 G With your dark brother wrapped in white Cadd9 G Says it was good to be alive D Cadd9 But now he rides a comet's flame D G He won't be coming back again D Cadd9 The earth looks better from a star D G That's right above from where you are D Cadd9 He didn't mean to make you cry D G With sparks that ring and bullets fly D Cadd9 On empty rings around your heart D Cadd9 G The world just screams and falls apart Cadd9 G But now we must pick up every piece Cadd9 G Of the life we used to love Cadd9 Just to keep ourselves G D At least enough to carry on Cadd9 G And here's where your mother sleeps Cadd9 G D And here is the room where your brothers were born Cadd9 G Indentions in the sheets Cadd9 G D Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore Cadd9 G Cadd9 G And it's so sad to see the world agree Cadd9 G D That they'd rather see their faces fill with flies Cadd9 D G All when I'd want to keep wine and roses in their eyes
