[Verse 1]
[C]The only girl I've ever[G] loved
[C]Was born with roses in her[G] eyes
[C]But then they buried her aliv[G]e
One evening in [D]nineteen-forty-[C]five
With just her [D]sister at her [G]side
And only [D]weeks before the [C]guns
All came and [D]rained on every one
[G]Now she's a lit[D]tle boy in Spa[C]in
Playing pi[D]anos filled with [G]flames
On empty [D]rings around the [C]sun
I'll sing to [D]say my dream [C]has [G]come

[Chorus 1]
But now we must [C]pack up [G]every piece
Of the [C]life we used [G]to love
Just to [C]keep ourselves
At [G]least enough to [D]carry on

[Verse 2]
[C]And now we ride the circus[G] wheel
[C]With your dark brother wrapped in [G]white
[C]Says it was good to be aliv[G]e
But now he [D]rides a comet's [C]flame
And won't be [D]coming back a[G]gain
The Earth looks [D]better from a [C]star
That's right [D]above from where you [G]are
He didn't [D]mean to make you [C]cry
With sparks that [D]ring and bullets [G]fly
On empty [D]rings around your [C]heart
The world just [D]screams and falls [C]apart[G]

[Chorus 2]
But now we must [C]pack up [G]every piece
Of the [C]life we used [G]to love
Just to [C]keep ourselves
At [G]least enough to [D]carry on
And [G]here's where your

[Bridge 1]
[C]mot[G]her sleeps
And here is the [C]room where your
[G]brothers [D]were born
In[G]dentan[C]tions in [G]the sheets
Where their bodies once [C]moved but don't
[G]move [D]anymore
And it's [C]so sad to [G]see the [C]world ag[G]ree
That they'd [C]rather see their
[G]faces filled [D]with flies
[G]All when I'd [C]want to [G]keep white
[D]roses in [G]their eyes
