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