Holland 1945

Neutral Milk Hotel

 CG
 The only girl I've ever loved    
 CG
 Was born with roses in her eyes  
 CG
 But then they buried her alive   
 D
One evening 1945         
 CDG
 With just her sister at her side         
 DC
 And only weeks before the guns           
 DG
 All came and rained on everyone          
 DC
 Now she's a little boy in Spain          
 DG
 Playing pianos filled with flames        
 DC
 On empty rings around the sun            
 DC
 All sing to say my dream has come        
 CG
 But now we must pick up every piece      
 CG
 Of the life we used to love      
 CG
 Just to keep ourselves   
 CD
 At least enough to carry on      
 CG
 And now we ride the circus wheel         
 CG
 With your dark brother wrapped in white          
 CG
 Says it was good to be alive     
 D
But now he rides a comet's flame

 CDG
 And won't be coming back again           
 GDC
 The Earth looks better from a star       
 DG
 That's right above from where you are
 DC
 He didn't mean to make you cry
 DG
With sparks that ring and bullets fly            
 DC
On empty rings around your heart         
 DC
The world just screams and falls apart           
 CG
But now we must pick up every piece              
 CG
Of the life we used to love      
 C
 Just to keep ourselves
 GD
 At least enough to carry on

 GCG
And here's where your mother sleeps              
 GCG
And here is the room where your brothers were born          
 D
 GCG
 Indentions in the sheets 
 GCG
Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore        
 D
 CGCG
 And it's so sad to see the world agree
 GCD
That they'd rather see their faces fill with flies       
 GCD
 All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes         
 G
