E               Asus2             E              Asus2
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
     E                 A              E
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did

E           Asus2          E               Asus2
All five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun
E             A                       E
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

C                                    Em
Oh, and all I taught her was everything
C                                   Em
Oh, I know she gave me all that she wore

           D
And now my bitter hands,
        C
Chafe beneath the clouds
            Em
Of what was everything
        D
All the pictures have
          C
All been washed in black
               Em
Tattooed everything

E        Asus2                E               Asus2
I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play
E                A            E
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear

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

           D
And now my bitter hands
       C
Cradle broken glass
                Em
Of what was everything
        D
All the pictures have
          C
All been washed in black
             Em
Tattooed everything
        D
All the love gone bad
          C
Turned my world to black
                 D
And tattooed all I see,
         C
All that I am,
              Em
All that I'll be

D C     Em      D       C
  Yeah  Uh huh  Uh huh  Uh
  Em
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
  D                          C
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky
    Em        D            C
But why, why, why can't it be,
C                Em  D  C
Oh can't it be mine
Em      D        C
ooh, ah yeah, aah ooh
C                        Em
