[Intro 1]
[G][Em][G]
[Em][G]

[Verse 1]
Pushing through [G]the market
[Em]square
So many mothers [A]sighing
(sighing)
News had just come over
[Am]We had [C]five years left to cry in (cry in)
[G]News guy wept and told us
[Em]Earth was really [A]dying (dying)
Cried so much his face was wet
[Am]Then I knew [C]he was not lying (lying)

[Verse 2]
I heard [G]telephones, opera house,
favorite melodies
I saw [Em]boys, toys, electric irons and TV's
My [A]brain hurt like a warehouse,
[Am]it had [A]no room to spare
I [C]had to cram so many things
to store everything in there
And all the fat, [Am]skinny [C]people
And all the tall, short [Am]people
[C]And all the nobody peo[G]ple[C]
And all the somebody [D]people
I never thought I'd need so many [Am]people

[Verse 3]
[C]A g[G]irl my age went
off her [Em]head
Hit some tiny children
[A]If the Black hadn't have pulled her off
I [C]think she would have killed them
[G]A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his [Em]stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
[A]A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And a [C]queer threw up at the sight of that
[G]I think I saw you in an ice-
cream parlor
[Em]Drinking milk shakes cold and long
[A]Smiling and waving and looking so fine
[C]Don't think you knew
you were in this song
And it was [G]cold and it rained,
so I felt like an actor
And I [Em]thought of Ma and
I wanted to get back there
Your [A]face, your race, the way that you talk
I [C]kiss you, you're beautiful,
I want you to walk

[Verse 4]
We've got [G]five years, stuck on my eyes
[Em]Five years, what a surprise
We've got [A]five years, my brain hurts a lot
[C]Five years, that's all we've got

[Verse 5]
We've got [G]five years, what a surprise
[Em]Five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got [A]five years, my brain hurts a lot
[C]Five years, that's all we've got

[Verse 6]
We've got [G]five years, stuck on my eyes
[Em]Five years, what a surprise
We've got [A]five years, my brain hurts a lot
[C]Five years, that's all we've got

[Verse 7]
We've got [G]five years, what a surprise
We've got [Em]five years,
stuck on my eyes
We've [A]got five years, my brain hurts a lot
[C]Five years, that's all we've got

[Verse 8]
[G]Five years
[Em]Five years
[A]Five years
[C]Five years
