Holand 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
 DC
One evening nineteen-forty-five
 DG
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
 DCG
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
 C
        Just to keep ourselves
 GD
        At least enough to carry on

(same as verse1)
And now we ride the circus wheel
With your dark brother wrapped in white
Says it was good to be alive
But now he rides a comet's flame
And won't be coming back again
The Earth looks better from a star
That's right above from where you are
He didn't mean to make you cry
With sparks that ring and bullets fly
On empty rings around your heart
The world just screams and falls apart

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