---VERSE 1---
E7 A/E E7 (E9sus4) A
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
E7 A/E E7 (E9sus4) A
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
E7 A/E E7 A
All five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun
E7 A/E ( Asus4) E7 (E9sus4) E7
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
---CHORUS 1--- [KEY G]
C (E9sus4) Em
Hmmmm, and all I taught her was everything
C (E9sus4) Em
Hmmmm, How quick the sun can drop away
D
And now my bitter hands,
C
Cradle broken glass
Em
Of what was everything
D
Oh, the pictures had
C
Have all been washed in black
E
Tattooed everything
---VERSE 2--- [KEY A]
E A/E E (E9sus4) A
I take a walk outside I'm surrounded by some kids at play
E A/E Asus4 A/E E
Oh, I can feel their laughter so, why do I sear
---CHORUS 2--- [KEY G]
C Em
Hmm and twisted thoughts that spin 'round my head, I'm spinning, oh
C (E9sus4) Em
I'm spinning, How quick the sun can drop away
D Dsus4
And now my bitter hands
C Csus4
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 D C
All I'll be Yeah
Em D C
Uh huh Uh huh
---ENDING---
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,
Em A C
Why can't it be mine
Em D C (till end)
Em A C (can mix it up)
Em D C ... Em
