David Bowie - Five Years: chords

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 T.V.'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

                 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

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 ice-cream parlour
Em
  Drinking milkshakes 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

           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
