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
