Holland, 1945  Neutral Milk Hotel

Holland, 1945
[C]The only girl I've ever loved[G]
[C]Was born with roses in her eyes[G]
[C]But then they buried her alive [G]
One evening 1945[D]
[C]With just her si[D]ster at her side [G]
[D]And only weeks before the guns [C]
[D]All came and rained on everyone [G]
[D]Now she's a little boy in Spain [C]
[D]Playing pianos filled with flames[G]
[D]On empty rings around the sun[C]
[D]All sing to say my dream has come[C]
[C]But now we must pick up every piece[G]
[C]Of the life we used to love [G]
[C]Just to keep ourselves[G]
[C]At least enough to carry on[D]
[C]And now we ride the circus wheel[G]
[C]With your dark brother wrapped in white[G]
[C]Says it was good to be alive[G]
But now he rides[D] a comet's flame
[C]And won't be com[D]ing back again[G]
[G]The Earth looks better f[D]rom a star[C]
[D]That's right above from where yo[G]u are
[D]He didn't mean to make y[C]ou cry
With sparks that ring an[D]d bullets fly [G]
On empty rings a[D]round your heart[C]
The world just screams a[D]nd falls apart [C]
But now we must pick up [C]every piece[G]
Of the l[C]ife we used to love[G]
[C]Just to keep ourselves
[G]At least enough [D]to carry on
And here[G]'s where your mother sle[C]eps[G]
And here[G] is the room where your [C]brothers were bo[G]rn[D]
[G]Indentions in th[C]e sheets[G]
Where their bodi[G]es once moved bu[C]t don't move anymore[G] [D]
[C]And it's[G] so sad [C]to see t[G]he world agree
That they'd rath[G]er see their faces fill [C]with flies[D]
[G]All when I'd want to kee[C]p white roses in[D] their eyes [G]
