Intro [E][A][E] Hey, oh

[E] Sheets of empty [A] canvas
Untouched [E] sheets of clay [A] Were [E] laid spread out before [A] me
As her body [E] once did
[E] All five horizons [A] Revolved [E] around her soul
As the earth to the sun [A] Now the [E] air I tasted and [A] breathed
Has [E] taken a turn

Oh [C] and all I taught her was everything [Em] Oh [C] I know she gave me all that she wore [Em] And now my [D] bitter hands
Chafe beneath [C] the clouds
Of what was everything [Em] Oh the [D] pictures have
All been [C] washed in black
Tattooed everything [Em] [E] I take a [A] walk outside
I'm [E] surrounded by
Some kids at [A] play
[E] I can feel their [A] laughter
So why do I [E] sear

[C] Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin
Round my [Em] head
I'm spinning
[C] Oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away [Em] And now my bitter [D] hands
Cradle broken [C] glass
Of what was everything [Em] All the [D] pictures have
All been [C] washed in black
Tattooed everything [Em] All the [D] love gone bad
Turned my [C] world to black
Tattooed all [D] I see
All that [C] I am
All that [Em] I'll be, yeah [D] [C] Uh huh, [Em] uh huh, oh [D] [C] I know someday
you'll have a beautiful [Em] life
[D] I know you'll be a [C] star
In somebody Em else's sky
But why [D] [C] Why
Why can't it be [Em] Oh can't it be mine [D] [C] tu tu tu tu tu tu [Em] tu tu tu tu tu tu [D] x6
