E7             A             E7              A
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay

     E                 A              E
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did

E7        A          E7             A
All five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun

E7           A                       E7
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

C          Csus4 C               Csus4  C        Em
Hmmmm, and all   I taught her was           everything

C        Csus4 C              Csus4 C      Em
Hmmmm, I know  she gave me all        that she wore

           D
And now my bitter hands,

      C
Chafe beneath clouds

            Em
Of what was everything

        D
Oh, the pictures

              C
Have all been washed in black

               Em
Tattooed everything

E7      A               E7             A
I take a walk outside I'm surrounded by some kids at play

    E7              A            E7
Oh, I can feel their laughter so, why do I sear

C          Csus4 C                   Csus4 C        Em
Hmmmm, and twisted thoughts that spin        'round my head, I'm spinning, oh

    C             Csus4 C         Csus4 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 I'll be

D C     Em      D       C
  Yeah  Uh huh  Uh huh

  Em
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,

  D                          C
I know you'll be a star in somebody elses sky

    Em        D            C
But why, why, why can't it be,

C                 Em     D      C
Why can't it be mine2
