[Intro]
E7, Esus, E7, E6sus9, E7
E7 Esus E7 E6sus9 E7
Hey, hey, yeah, uh
[Verse 1]
E7 Esus E7 E6sus9 E7 Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay E7 Esus E7 Were laid spread out before me as her body once did E7 Esus E7 E6sus9 E7 All five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun E7 Esus E7 Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn, ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
C Em Hmmmmm, And all I taught her was everything C Em Hmmmmm, 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 Oh, the pictures have C all been washed in black Em Tattooed everything
[Verse 2]
E7 Esus E7 E6sus9 E7 I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play E7 Esus E7 I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
[Pre-Chorus]
C Em Hmmmmm, and twisted thoughts that spin 'round my head C Em I'm spinning, Hmmmmmm 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 Tattooed all I see, C all that I am, Em all I'll be D C yeah Em D C Oh oh ooh
[Outro]
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 but why D Why, why can't it be, C Em oh can't it be mine? D C Em Ooh, ah yeah, ah ooh C Em Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, D C Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
