Holland 1945 Uke tab by Neutral Milk Hotel

CG
The only girl I've ever loved
CG
Was born with roses in her eyes
CG
But then they buried her alive 
D
One evening 1945
CDG
With just her sister at her side 
DC
And only weeks before the guns 
DG
All came and rained on everyone 
DC
Now she's a little boy in Spain 
DG
Playing pianos filled with flames
DC
On empty rings around the sun
DC
All sing to say my dream has come
CG
But now we must pick up every piece
CG
Of the life we used to love 
CG
Just to keep ourselves
CD
At least enough to carry on
CG
And now we ride the circus wheel
CG
With your dark brother wrapped in white
CG
Says it was good to be alive
D
But now he rides a comet's flame 

CDG
And won't be coming back again
GDC
The Earth looks better from a star
DG
That's right above from where you are 
DC
He didn't mean to make you cry 
DG
With sparks that ring and bullets fly 
DC
On empty rings around your heart
DC
The world just screams and falls apart 
CG
But now we must pick up every piece
CG
Of the life we used to love
C
Just to keep ourselves
GD
At least enough to carry on

GCG
And here's where your mother sleeps
GCGD
And here is the room where your brothers were born
GCG
Indentions in the sheets 
GCGD
Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore
CGCG
And it's so sad to see the world agree 
GCD
That they'd rather see their faces fill with flies
GCDG
All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes
