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
[Pre-chorus 1]
C                                    Em
Oh, and all I taught her was everything

C                                   Em
Oh, I know she gave me all that she wore
[Chorus]
           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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-chorus 2]
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
[Chorus]
           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
[Bridge]
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
