pushing through the market square
Bm
so many mothers sighing
Em

G
Five years left of crying

D
news guy wept and told us
        Bm
he said earth, was really dying
Em
cried so much his face was wet
       G
then i knew, he was not lying

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

D
girl my age went off her head
Bm
hit some tiny children
Em
and if the black hadn't have pulled her off
        G
then i think, she would have killed them

D
soldier with a broken arm
Bm
used to stare into the wheels of a cadillac
Em
cop knelt to kiss the feet of a priest
       G
and a queer threw up at the sight of that, well

D
think i saw you in an ice-cream parlour
Bm
drinking milkshakes cold and long
Em
smiling and waving and looking so fine
G
don't think you knew you were in this song

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

D
we got five years stuck on my eyes
Bm

G
