Placebo - Five Yearsadd

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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