^FThe only girl I've ev^Cer loved ^FWas born with roses in ^Cher eyes ^FBut then they buried her ^Calive One evening ^Gnineteen-forty-^Ffive With just her ^Gsister at her ^Cside And only ^Gweeks before the ^Fguns All came and ^Grained on ever^Cyone Now she's a ^Glittle boy in ^FSpain Playing ^Gpianos filled with ^Cflames On empty ^Grings around the ^Fsun All sing to ^Gsay my dream ^Fhas com^Ce

But now we must ^Fpick up every ^Cpiece Of the ^Flife we used to ^Clove Just to ^Fkeep ourselves At ^Cleast enough to c^Garry on

(same as verse1) 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

And ^Chere's ^Dwhere ^Fyour ^Fmother ^Csleeps And ^Chere ^Dis ^Fthe ^Froom where your ^Cbrothers were ^Gborn ^CIn^Dden^Ftions ^Fin the ^Csheets Where their ^Cbo^Ddies ^Fonce ^Fmoved but don't ^Cmove an^Gymore And it's so ^Fsad to ^Csee the ^Fworld ^Cagree That they'd ^Frather see their ^Cfaces filled with ^Gflies ^CAll ^Dwhen ^FI'd ^Fwant to ^Ckeep ^Fwhite roses in their eyes
