Five Years - David Bowie | Guitar Chords

[Verse 1]
---------------------
G
 Pushing through the market square
Em
  So many mothers sighing
A
 News had just come over
       C
We had five years left to cry in
G
 News guy wept and told us
Em
Earth was really dying
A
 Cried so much his face was wet
       C
Then I knew he was not lying
        G
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
      Em
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TV'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

[Bridge]
---------------------
                 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

[Verse 2]
---------------------
G
 A girl my age went off her head
Em
  Hit some tiny children
A
 If the Black hadn't have pulled her off
  C
I think she would have killed them
G
 A soldier with a broken arm
          Em
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A
 A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
      C
And a queer threw up at the sight of that
G
 I think I saw you in an icecream parlor
Em
  Drinking milk shakes cold and long
A
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
C
 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

[Chorus]
---------------------
          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
We've got 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
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
We've got 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
 Five years
Em
  Five years
A
 Five years
C
Five years
