G | C | G 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
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

[Pre-Chorus (1)]
---------------------
            D             C
One evening ninghty fourtyfive
              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                    D
Playing pianos filled with flames On empty rings
              C               D
around the sun All sing to say
            C    G
my dream has come

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

[Verse 2]
---------------------
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

[Pre-Chorus (2)]
---------------------
           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                     D
He didn't mean to make you cry With sparks that ring
            G                 D
and bullets fly On empty rings
                 C                      D
around your heart The world just screams
           C   G
and falls apart



[Bridge]
---------------------
    G                C             G
And here's where your mother sleeps
                C                            G
And here is the room where your brothers were born
            C             G
Indentations in the sheets
                        C                       D
Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore

[Outro 1]
---------------------
           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
G            C       G          D              G
All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes
