Pushing through the market square, [Em] so many mothers sighing,
[A] News had just come over, we [C] had five years left to cry.
[G] New guy wept and told us, [E] Earth was really [E] dying,
[A] Cried so much his face was wet, then [C] I knew he was not lying.
[G] I heard telephones, opera house, fever melody,
[Em] I saw boys, toys, electric arms and TVs,
[A] A brain hurt like a werewolf, 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 short people,
[C] And 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] Killed some tiny children, [A] if the black hadn't pulled her off,
[C] I think she would have killed them.
[G] A soldier with a broken arm,
[Em] Fenced his stair 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.
[G] I think I saw you in an ice cream parlor,
[Em] Drinking milkshakes cold and long,
[A] Smiling and waving and looking so fine,
[C] I don't think you knew you were in the zone.
[G] And it was cold and it rained, I felt like an out,
[Em] So I thought I'm on, and I wanted to get back there,
[A] Your face, your race, the way that you talk,
[C] I can't tell you're beautiful, I want you to walk [G] me back,
Five years, stuck on my eyes,
[Em] Five years, what a surprise,
[A] Without five years, my brain hurts a lot,
[C] Five years, that's all that's left,
[G] Without five years, stuck on my [Em] eyes,
Five years, [Em] what a surprise,
[A] Without five years, my brain hurts a lot,
[C] Five years, that's all that's left,
[G] Without five years, [Em] five years,
What a surprise, [A] without five years,
[C] Five years, that's all that's left,
[G] Without five years, my brain hurts a lot,
