E7 A E7 A
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
E7 A E7
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
Pre-Chorus: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
E7 A E7 A
I take a walk outside, Iʼm surrounded by some kids at play
E7 A E7
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Pre-Chorus:C Em
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin ʼround my head,
Iʼm spinning, oh
C Em
Iʼm 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 D
All that Iʼll be
Outro:C Em D C
Yeah. Uh huh. Uh huh. Uh
Em
I know someday youʼll have a beautiful life,
D C
I know youʼll be a star in somebody elseʼs sky
Em D C
But why, why, why canʼt it be,
Em D C
Oh canʼt it be mine
Em D C
Ooh, ah yeah, aah ooh
Coda:Em D C x6
