Intro: C , G , C , G

C                        G
The only girl I've ever loved
C                          G
Was born with roses in her eyes
C                         G
But then they buried her alive
            D                C
One evening Nine-teen-forty-five
              D              G
With just her sister at her side
         D                 C
And only weeks before the guns
             D              G
All came and rained on everyone
            D              C
Now she's a little boy in Spain
          D                 G
Playing pianos filled with flames
         D                C
On empty rings around the sun
            D                G
All sing to say my dream has come

                C             G
But now we must pick up every piece
        C               G
Of this life we used to love
        C                 G
Just to keep ourselves at least
                D
Enough to carry on!

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


                C             G
But now we must pick up every piece
       C               G
Of the life we used to love
        C	           G
Just to keep ourselves at least
                D
Enough to carry on!

  G    A      B     C        G
And here's where your mother sleeps
  G   A  B      C               G             D
And here is the room where your brothers were born
 G   A   B   C       G
In-den-tions in the sheets
            C            G              C       D
Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore
            C      G       C      G
And it's so sad to see the world agree
            C                G                D
That they'd rather see their faces fill with flies
             C                  D               G
All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes

Outro: C , G , C , G

C      Gmaj13      C            
I will bury you in time
    Gmaj13            C
When the sea begins to slide
    Gmaj13             Em           G
Into this hole where I am smiling on your shoulder
C      Gmaj13      C   
You have buried my beliefs
    Gmaj13            C
Where all you sisters sleep
  Gmaj13          Em             
That their scent the purity will make
        G
When the youth is over
Em              G        | C Gmaj13 x3  Em G
Frozen in some lost October

C      Gmaj13      C      
And I am breathing into you
    Gmaj13            C
It makes your features move
    Gmaj13             Em           G
And they shimmer like balloons that fly above the ocean
C      Gmaj13      C   
All the world is waiting here
    Gmaj13            C
You can hear the children cheer
  Gmaj13          Em         
But they'll need you when you're near
            G
The brink of complete implosion
Em              G     
Crown your king when your life is broken
 C            Gmaj13  
Everything you are I'm tearing through
 C            Gmaj13   
Everything you want I'm wanting too
 C            Gmaj13   
I gave you more than I thought I could ever do
Em              G        | C Gmaj13 x3  Em G
And I will never break you

C        Gmaj13        C      
And if I was the king of all the kids
    Gmaj13                     C
You'd you hear me singing in my spit
    Gmaj13              Em                 G
But all you would hear is the shit inside my burnt emotions
C      Gmaj13     C         
I will bury you in time
    Gmaj13            C
When the sea begins to slide
    Gmaj13             Em             G
Into this hole where you and I will sing our songs unbroken
Em                   G
As the water starts its choking

   C              Gmaj13  x3        | Em G C   
Dee-dee, dee-dee-dee-dee-dee dee-dee...

Вступление: G Em C D

G                 Em
What a beautiful face
                       C
I have found in this place
                  D 
That is circling all around the sun.
G                  Em
What a beautiful dream
                          C
That could flash on the screen
                  D                    G
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
      Em 
Soft and sweet
         C                 D              G Em C D
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me

And one day we will die
                       C                  D
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
G                  Em
But for now we are young
                  C
Let us lay in the sun
                D                     G
And count every beautiful thing we can see
        Em
Love to be
         C             D                G Em C D
In the arms of all I'm keepin here with me

What a curious life we have found here tonight
                    D
There is music that sounds from the street
G                       Em
There are lights in the cloud
                   C
*Anna's ghost all around
                       D                   G
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
      Em
Soft and sweet
         C                 D                G Em C D
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees

Em                        C
     Now how I remember you
                                  G
How I would push my fingers through
                                    D
Your mouth to make those muscles move
                                       Em
That make your voice so smooth and sweet
                                  C
And now we keep where we don't know
                                  G
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
                             D
With one you loved so long ago

Now he don't even know his name

G                     Em
And when we meet on a cloud
                     C
I'll be laughing out loud
                      D           G
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
       Em
Can't believe
    C                   D           G Em C D G
How strange it is to be anything at all

Am
Little birds born without a mother or a father
 Am
I can feel their feathers forming in the running water
 G
Now there is another in the middle of my mouth
 Em
A hundred altogether inside of me now
 Am
Little birds, little birds come into my body

 Am
Mother, they're within me every moment I'm awaking
 Am
Bodies multiplying 'til they finally overtake me
 G
Put your ears up to my mouth and you can hear them singing
 Em
Put you hands within me and you'll know what I am feeling
 Am
I just want to swallow up and promise to protect them

 Am
Daddy come towards me I can feel his hands are shaking
 Am
Put his hands against me he can feel their bodies breaking
 G
Push me to the floor and put his hands up for a beating
 Em
"I don't want to hear it anymore" he kept repeating
 Am
Do you really want the burning hell to come and get you?

 Am
Did you know the burning hell it took your baby brother?
 Am
Did you see how far he fell and how he made us suffer?
 G
Another boy in town at night he took him for his lover
 Em
And deep in sin they held each other
 Am
So I took a hammer and nearly beat his little brains in

Knowing God in heaven no could never could forgive him
                                          G   Em
So I took a hammer nearly beat his brains in

 Am
Little boy born without a mother or a father
 Am
Taken to the river and then pushed into the water
 G                                                        Em
And the priest is singing that the hell is getting hotter la la la la la
 Am
Father, Son and Holy Ghost, the only one to save him
 Am
From the thing he loves the most but we know will betray him
 Am                                                G   Em
Father, Son and Holy Ghost, the only one to save him

 Am                   G
And here beneath the water I can see
        Em                Am
How the light distorts so strange
                 G                      Em            
And this is how I would like to leave my body
           Am
And start again

There is no Naomi in view

She walks through Cambridge stocks and strolls
 Ab    A     E          E
And if she only really knew
 Ab    A     E          E                    | Ab  A  E  E
One billion angels could come and save her soul

So pretty

When you were young you were the king of carrot flowers
F                          C                   Bb
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees

In holy rattlesnakes that fell all 'round your feet

Into that secret place where no one dares to go

Silver speakers that sparkle all day

C
All I perceive is wasted and broken
F
Silvery streams, sacred when spoken
C                                     F
Slam into me and into the ditch of debris
        C
And you smoke in the park and sleep in the greenery
F
Everyone barks and they are all still believing
   C                                                  F
To tear out your heart would send all your secrets to me

              E
But I let you down
                F                             E
And swollen and small is where you'll find me now
                           F
With that silver stripping off
                              E
From my tongue you're tearing out
                         F G
And you'll never hear me talk

C
Your teeth believe that teeth are for tearing
F
Tear into me and the scent of you sweating
C
Smells good to me
                          F
As long as we keep in our clothes

    C
And out in the dark the world is still rolling
F
Kids in their cars, cigarette smoking
    C                                                F
And all that they are just reeks with the sweetest belief

              E
But I let you down
                F                             E
And swollen and small is where you'll find me now
                           F
With that silver stripping off
                         E
My tongue you're tearing out
                         F G C  F  C  F
And you'll never hear me talk

    C
And all I could want is silver and spinning
F
Out from your arms and into the pretty
C                                            F
Pit of your heart, so simply and softly we'd flow

              E
But I let you down
                F                             E
And swollen and small is where you'll find me now
                           F
With that silver stripping off
                         E
My tongue you're tearing out
                         F G   C
And you'll never hear me talk, Glow
  F             C
Into you I will glow
  F    C
Into you

E
Wishful eyes, 
                                          E
Fill this room up with the spirit of your pride
                                         C
So, that all the world can hear it go in vain
           D                         E
Oh, once again I’m cracked and empty leaking
              C                   D
Trip into the drain, wait I can explain
                        E
Inside myself that I am seeking

 E
Little smiles,
                                   E
Every moment brings another wasted mile
                                    C
Between everything and everything I need
          D                               E
Get up to leave for the time has come for leaving
                   C                          D
And if it don’t succeed we'll just burry all belief
                              E
That we could escape this empty evening

 E
But, someone take control of me
     E
I am spinning in infinity
        E                                C
With my life its going endlessly from control
              D                                 E
Take off your clothes for the time has come for sleeping
                C                         D
Cause everybody knows the world continues blow
                          E
Whether or not your still breathing

Little child,
     E
I discovered you and hold you till surprise
        E                                  C
Just to punch you in the face with nothing more
                       D
Than what all my anger bore
                             E
It’s little head and started screaming
                           C
But we’ve heard this all before
                     D
So, just open up the door
                             E
And fill your mouth with freedom's feelings

     E
But, someone take control of me
     E
I am trudging with my infantry
        E                          C
With my army and my enemies taking hold
              D                                 E
Take off your clothes for the time has come for sleeping

Cause everybody knows the world continues though
                         E
Whether or not your still breathing
