Holand 1945 Neutral Milk Hotel
[C]The only girl I've ev[G]er loved
[C]Was born with roses in [G]her eyes
[C]But then they buried her [G]alive
One evening [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 ever[G]yone
Now she's a [D]little boy in [C]Spain
Playing [D]pianos filled with [G]flames
On empty [D]rings around the [C]sun
All sing to [D]say my dream [C]has com[G]e
But now we must [C]pick up every [G]piece
Of the [C]life we used to [G]love
Just to [C]keep ourselves
At [G]least enough to c[D]arry 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 [G]here's [A]where [C]your [C]mother [G]sleeps
And [G]here [A]is [C]the [C]room where your [G]brothers were [D]born
[G]In[A]den[C]tions [C]in the [G]sheets
Where their [G]bo[A]dies [C]once [C]moved but don't [G]move an[D]ymore
And it's so [C]sad to [G]see the [C]world [G]agree
That they'd [C]rather see their [G]faces filled with [D]flies
[G]All [A]when [C]I'd [C]want to [G]keep [C]white roses in their eyes
