Pushing through the market square, [Em] so many mothers sighing
[A] News had just come over, we [C] had five years left to cry by
[G] Youth got wet and told us, [E] birth was really down here
[A] Cried so much, his face was wet, [C] then I knew he was not lying
[G] I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melody
[Em] I saw boys, toys, electric arms and TVs
[A] My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
[C] I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And [Am] all the fat skinny people, [C] and all the tall [Am] short people
And [C] all the [G] nobody people,
[C] and all the [D] somebody people
Never thought I'd need [Am] so many people
[C] [G] A girl my age went off her head, [Em] hit some tiny children
If [A] the black hadn't pulled her off, [C] I think she would have killed him
[G] A soldier with a broken arm, [Em] fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
[A] A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
[C] And the queer threw up at the sight of that
I [G] think I saw you in an ice cream parlor
[Em] Drinking milkshakes, cold and warm
[A] Smiling and waving and looking so fine
[C] I don't think I knew you were in this song
[G] And it was cold and it rained, I felt like a mess
[Em] So I thought I'm off, and I wanted to get back [A] near you
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
[C] I can't see your beautiful, I want you to walk [G] me down by the air
Stuck on my eyes, [Em] five years
What a surprise, [A] you got five years
My brain hurts a lot, [C] five years
That's all, got [G] me, got five years
Stuck on my eyes, [Em] five years
What a surprise, [A] you got five years
My brain hurts a lot, [C] five years
That's all, got [G] me, got five years
[Em] Five years, you're a surprise
[A] Five years,
[C] five years
That's all, you got [G] five years
You got five years
