David Bowie - Five Years (Lyrics!) chords
Start Jamming...
[G] Pushing through the market square, [Em] so many mothers dying.
[A] The fuse had just come over, we [C] had five years left crying.
[G] The news guy wept and told us,
[E] Mark [Em] was really dying.
[A]
Cried so much his face was wet,
[C] then I knew he was not lying.
I [G] heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies.
[Em] I saw boys, toys, electric irons and [D] TVs.
[A]
Our brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare.
I [C] had to cram so many things to store, everything in there.
And all the [Am] fat skinny [A] people,
[C] and all the tall [Am] short people,
[C] and all the no [Am]-body [G] people,
[C] and all the somebody [D] people,
I never thought I'd meet so [Am] many people.
[C]
[G] Girl my age went off ahead,
[Em] had some tiny children.
[E] [A] If the black had her folder off,
[C] I think she would have killed them.
[G] A soldier with a broken arm,
I [Em] sit there to do the wheels of a Cadillac.
[A] Cops knelt and kissed the feet of a priest,
[C] and a queer threw up his suicide assignment.
I [G] think I saw you in an ice cream parlor,
[Em] drinking milkshakes cold and long,
[A] smiling and waving and looking so fine.
[C] Don't think you knew you were in the song.
[Am] And it [G] was cold and it rained,
so I felt like a laptop,
[Em] and I thought of Mark,
wanted to get back there.
Your [A] face, your race,
the way that you talk.
I [C] miss you, you're beautiful,
I want you to walk.
We got [G] five years stuck on mine.
[Bm] [Em] Five years,
we [A] got five years,
my brain hurts so long.
[C] Five years,
we [G] got five years,
what a [D] surprise.
[Em]
Five years,
stuck on mine.
[A] Five years,
my brain hurts so long.
[C] Five years,
that's all we got.
[G] Five years,
[Em] five years,
we [A] got five years,
my brain hurts so [C]
long.
We [G] got
[Em]
stuck on mine,
we [A] got,
my brain hurts so long.
