[Intro]
C N.C.
...two, one-two-three-four
C G (x2)
[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
D C
One evening nineteen-forty-five
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
Playing pianos filled with flames
D C
On empty rings around the sun
D C G
All sing to say 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
G 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
He didn't mean to make you cry
D G
With sparks that ring and bullets fly
D C
On empty rings around your heart
D C G
The world just screams and falls apart
[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
[Outro]
G A Bm C G
And here's where your mother sleeps
G A Bm C G D
And here is the room where your brothers were born
G A Bm C G
Indentions in the sheets
G A Bm C G D
Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore
C G C G
And it's so sad to see the world agree
C G D
That they'd rather see their faces filled with flies
G A Bm C G D G C G C D C G
All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes

one_kid is correct, the end of the song is missing two chords. It should be, as stated above: [G]in[Am]dent[Bm]ions [C]in the sheets

Oh, G sheets are fun. You hold a sheet in your picking hand, and palm mute, using the sheet.
They mean C before the sheet word in the ending. =p

Decent tab, but it would have been nice to have the outro chords too.
Also, you spelt Holland wrong.
