Five Years Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Pushin' through the [G]market square
[Em]So many mothers sighing
[A]News had just come over,
we had [C]five years left to cry in
[G]News guy wept and told us,
[Em]Earth was really dying
[A]Cried so much, his face was wet,
then I [C]knew he was not lying
I heard [G]telephones, opera house,
favourite melodies
I [Em]saw boys, toys, electric irons and TVs
My [A]brain hurt like a warehouse,
it had no room to spare
I had to [C]ground so many things to start,
everything in there
And all the fat [A]-skinned people
[C]And all the tall, short [A]people
[C]And all the nobody [G]people
[C]And all the somebody peo[D]ple
Never thought I'd need so many [Am]people[C]
[G]Girl, my itch went off her head
[Em]Hit some tiny children
[A]If the black hadn't of pulled her up
I [C]think she would have killed them
[G]A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed [Em]his stand to the wheels of a Cadillac
[A]A cop now kissed the feet of a priest
And a [C]critter threw up at the sight of that
[G]I think I saw you in an ice
cream parlor
[Em]Drinking milkshakes cold and long
Smil[A]ing and waving and
looking so fine
[C]Don't think you knew you
were in the 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
We got [G]five years, stuck on my eyes
[Em]Five years, what a surprise
We got [A]five years, my head hurts a lot
[C]Five years, that's all we got
We got [G]five years, stuck on miles
[Em]Five years, what a surprise
We got [A]five years, my head hurts a lot
[C]Five years, that's all we got
We [G]got [C]five [G]years
[Em]Five years
Five [A]years
[C]Five years
[G]Five [C]yea[G]rs
[Em]Five years
[A]Five years
Five [C]years
That's all we've got, we've
got [G]five [G]years
Thank
