[C] The only girl I [G] ever loved
[C] was born with roses [G] in her eyes.
[C] But then they buried [G] her alive one [D] evening, [C] 1945.
Her justice sister at [G] her side, and [D] only weeks before [C] the guns all came and rained on [G] everyone.
Now [D] she's a little boy [C] and sings, playing piano filled [G] with flames on [D] empty rings around [C] the sun.
All sing the same, a dream has come.
[G] Now we [C] must pack up [G] every piece of [C] life we [G] used to love.
Just [C] keep ourselves [G] at least enough to [D] carry on.
[C] And as we ride the [G] circus wheel, [C] with our dark brother [G] wrapped in white, [C] he said it was good to [G] be alive.
Now [D] he rides the [C] comet's flame and won't be coming back [G] again.
The earth [D] looks better from [C] the star that's right above from where [G] you are.
He [D] didn't mean to make [C] you cry and spark that ring and [G] bullets fly on [D] empty rings around [C] your heart.
The world just screams and falls [G] apart.
Now [C] we must pack up [G] every piece of [C] the life we [G] used to love.
Just [C] keep ourselves [G] at least enough to [D] carry on.
And here's [C] where your [G] mother sleeps.
Here [C] is the room where your [G] brothers [D] were born.
And [C] then she's in [G] the sheet where their bodies [C] once moved but [G] don't move [D] anymore.
And [C] it's so [G] sad to see [C] the world agree that they'd rather see their faces [D] filled with flies.
Oh, [C] and I want to keep [D] white roses in [C] their [G] eyes.
