Chords for Five Years - Placebo

[G] _ Pushing through the markets where [Em] _
_ so many mothers _ [Am] sighing
_ _ News had just come over, we [C] had five years left to cry
_ _ [G] _
_ News guy wept and told us, [D] he [E] said Earth was really dying
_ [Am] _
_ Cried so much his face was wet, [C] then I knew _ he was not lying
[G] I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
There [Em] were boys, toys, electric guns and TVs
[C] My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
Had to [A] cram so many things to store everything in [C] there
And all the fat, skinny people
[Am] _ And all the tall, [C] short people
_ [Am] And all the [G] nobody people
_ _ [C] And all the [D] somebody people
Never thought I'd need so [Am] many people
_ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _
Girl my age went off her head, _ [E] _
_ hit some tiny [Em] children
_ [Am]
And if the black hadn't pulled her off
[C] Then I think she would have killed them
_ [G] _
_ Soldier with a broken arm [F#] used [E] to stare into [Em] the wheels of a Cadillac
_ [Am] _
Cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
[C] _
Queer threw up at the sight of that
_ [G] _
Think I saw you in an ice cream [E] parlor
_ Drinking milkshakes cold and long
[Am] _
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
[C] _
Don't think you knew you were in this song
[G] And it was cold and it rained
So I felt like an [Em] actor and I thought of my mom
And I wanted to get back [Am] there
Face your ways, the way that you [C] talk
I mean, you're beautiful
_ _ [G] We got five years stuck in my [E] eyes
_ _ _ [Em] What a [Am] surprise we got
Five years, my brain hurts a [C] lot
_ Five years, that's all we got, we [G] got _ Five _ years _
_ [N] _ Prime Movers _ _ _ _
