Holland 1945 Chords by Mojojojo jax

[Intro]
    C              G    C G C G    
The only girl I've ever ■ ■ ■ loved


[Verse]
C                     G          
■ Was born with roses in her eyes
C                          G    
■ But then they buried her alive
            C                    
One evening in nineteen fortyfive
                        G       
With just her sister at her side
                      C       
And only weeks before the guns
                    D          
All came and rained on everyone
G                      D       
Now she's a little boy in Spain
C                     G          
Playing pianos filled with flames
                      C      
On empty rings around the sun
                              G   
I'll sing to say my dream has come


[Chorus]
C                         G          
■ But now we must pack 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]
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
                   C            
But now he rides a comet's flame
                         D    
And won't be coming back again
G                             C   
The Earth looks better from a star
                              G      
That's right above from where you are
                       C      
He didn't mean to make you cry
            D             G          
With sparks that ring and bullets fly
                      C         
On empty rings around your heart
                           C          
The world just screams and falls apart
    G        C            G          
But ■ now we must pack 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


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