Placebo - Five Yearsadd

C#
pushing through the market square
A#m
so many mothers sighing
D#m
news had just come over, we have
F#
Five years left of crying

C#
news guy wept and told us
        A#m
he said earth, was really dying
D#m
cried so much his face was wet
       F#
then i knew, he was not lying

         C#
i heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
           A#m
there were boys toys, electric guns and TVs
 F#
my brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
         D#m
i had to cram so many things to store everything in there
               F#
and all the fat, skinny people
D#m                        F#
and all the tall short, people
D#m                   C#
and all the nobody people
F#                       G#
and all the somebody people
                                D#m      F#
never thought i'd need, so many people

C#
girl my age went off her head
A#m
hit some tiny children
D#m
and if the black hadn't have pulled her off
        F#
then i think, she would have killed them

C#
soldier with a broken arm
A#m
used to stare into the wheels of a cadillac
D#m
cop knelt to kiss the feet of a priest
       F#
and a queer threw up at the sight of that, well

C#
think i saw you in an ice-cream parlour
A#m
drinking milkshakes cold and long
D#m
smiling and waving and looking so fine
F#
don't think you knew you were in this song

C#
and it was cold, and it rained, so i felt like an actor
A#m
and i thought of ma, and i wanted to get back there
D#m
your face, your waist, the way that you talk
F#
i miss you you're beautiful

C#
we got five years stuck on my eyes
A#m
five years, what a surprise, we got
D#m
five years, my brain hurts alot
F#
five years, that's all we got
C#               C#
we got, five years
