Intro: F
Muted strumming during "One... Two..."
FThe only girl I've Cever loved
FWas born with rCoses in her eyes
FBut then tChey buried her alive
One evGening 194F5
With jusGt her sisCter at her side
And only Gweeks beFfore the guns
All came and Grained on eCveryone
Now she's a Glittle bFoy in Spain
Playing piaGnos filleCd with flames
On empty Grings aroundF the sun
All sing to Gsay my dreCam has come
But now we must Fpick upC every piece
Of the Flife we used toC love
Just to Fkeep Courselves
At least enoFugh to caGrry on
Same as Verse 1:
And now we ride the circus wheel
With your dark brother wrapped in white
Says it was good to be alive
But now he rides a comet's flame
And won't be coming back again
The Earth looks better from a star
That's right above from where you are
He didn't mean to make you cry
With sparks that ring and bullets fly
On empty rings around your heart
The world just screams and falls apart
But now we must Fpick upC every piece
Of the Flife we used toC love
Just to Fkeep Courselves
At least enoFugh to caGrry on
And hereF's whereC your mother sleeps
And Fhere Cis thGe room where your brothers were born
IndentiFons Cin the sheets
Where FtheirC boGdies once moved but don't move anymore
And it's so Fsad toC see tFhe worlCd agree
That they'd Frather seGe their faces fill with flies
All wheFn I'd want toG keep whitCe roses in their eyes
Play C, G repeating until the end
