G                                                   Em
Pushing through the market square, so many mothers sighing
A                                    C
News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
G                                       Em
News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
A                                              C
Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying

G
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
Em
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and T.V.'s
A
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
C
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there

                         Am                  C
And all the fat-skinny people,
                                  Am         C
and all the tall-short people,
                               G         C
and all the nobody people,
                                     D
and all the somebody people
                                                     Am     C
I never thought I'd need so many people

G                                                Em
A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
A                                                    C
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them
G                                        Em
A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A                                                               C
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer Threw up at the sight of that

G                                                         Em
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlor, drinking milk shakes cold and long
A                                                           C
Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don't think You knew you were in this song

G
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
Em
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
A
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
C
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk

G
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Em
Five years, what a surprise
A
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
C
Five years, that's all we've got
G
Five years, what a surprise
Em
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
A
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
C
Five years, that's all we've got
G
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Em
Five years, what a surprise
A
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
C
Five years, that's all we've got
G
Five years, what a surprise
Em
Five years, stuck on my eyes
A
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
C
Five years, that's all we've got
G
Five years
Em
Five years
A
Five years
C
Five years!
G
