C, G
[C]The only girl I've ever l[G]oved
[C]Was born with roses in her [G]eyes
[C]But then they buried her a[G]live
One evening [D]Nine-teen-forty-f[C]ive
With just her [D]sister at her s[G]ide
And only [D]weeks before the g[C]uns
All came and [D]rained on every[G]one
Now she's a [D]little boy in S[C]pain
Playing pi[D]anos filled with f[G]lames
On empty [D]rings around the [C]sun
All sing to [D]say my dream has [G]come
But now we must [C]pick up every [G]piece
Of this [C]life we used to [G]love
Just to [C]keep ourselves at [G]least
Enough to carry [D]on!
[C]And now we ride the circus [G]wheel
[C]With your dark brother wrapped in [G]white
[C]Says it was good to be a[G]live
But now he [D]rides a comet's [C]flame
And won't be c[D]oming back a[G]gain
The Earth looks [D]better from a [C]star
That's right a[D]bove from where you [G]are
He didn't m[D]ean to make you [C]cry
With sparks that [D]ring and bullets [G]fly
On empty [D]rings around your [C]heart
The world just [D]screams and falls [G]apart
But now we must [C]pick up every [G]piece
Of the [C]life we used to [G]love
Just to [C]keep ourselves at l[G]east
Enough to carry [D]on!
An[G]d her[A]e's whe[B]re you[C]r mother [G]sleeps
An[G]d he[A]re [B]is the [C]room where your [G]brothers were [D]born
I[G]n-de[A]n-ti[B]ons [C]in the s[G]heets
Where their [C]bodies once m[G]oved but don't [C]move any[D]more
And it's so [C]sad to [G]see the [C]world a[G]gree
That they'd [C]rather see their [G]faces fill with f[D]lies
All when I'd [C]want to keep white [D]roses in their e[G]yes
[C] [G] [C] [G]
