Intro:
E7 A E7 A E7 A E


Verse 1:
E7 A
Sheets of empty canvas
E7 A
Untouched sheets of clay
E7 A E
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
E7 A
All five horizons revolved
E7 A
Around her soul, as the earth to the sun
E7 A E
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn


Pre-Chorus:
C Em
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
C Em
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore


Chorus:
Dsus2 C Em
And now my bitter hands shade beneath the clouds of what was everything
Dsus2 C Em
All the pictures have all been washed in black tattooed every day


Verse 2:
E7 A
I take a walk outside
E7 A
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
E7 A E
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?


Pre-Chorus:
C Em
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head, I'm spinning
C Em
Oh, I'm spinning, how quick the sun can drop away


Chorus:
Dsus2 C Em
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything
Dsus2 C Em
All the pictures have all been washed in black tattooed everything
Dsus2 C
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Dsus2 C Em
Tattooed all I see all that I am all that I'll be yeah
Dsus2 C Em
Uh huh uh huh ooh
Dsus2
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
C Em
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky
Dsus2 C Em
But why, why, why can't it be, oh, can't it be
Dsus2 C Em
Mine?
Dus2 C Em
Ooh ahhh yeah ahh ooh

Dsus2 C Em
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Dsus2 C Em
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do


Dsus2 - C - Em
(repeat for rest of song)
