[Intro]
D# G# D# G#
D# G# D# D#
[Verse]
D# G# D# G#
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
D# G# D#
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
[Verse]
D# G# D#
All five horizons revolved around her soul
G#
as the earth to the sun
D# G# D#
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
[Pre-chorus]
B D#m
Hmmmm, and all I taught her was everything
B D#m
Hmmmm, I know she gave me all that she wore
[Chorus]
C#
And now my bitter hands,
B
Chafe beneath clouds
D#m
Of what was everything
C#
Oh, the pictures
B
Have all been washed in black
D#m
Tattooed everything
[Verse]
D# G# D# G#
I take a walk outside I'm surrounded by some kids at play
D# G# D#
Oh, I can feel their laughter so, why do I sear
[Pre-chorus]
B D#m
Hmmmm, and twisted thoughts that spin 'round my head,
I'm spinning, oh
B D#m
I'm spinning, How quick the sun can drop away
[Chorus]
C#
And now my bitter hands
B
Cradle broken glass
D#m
Of what was everything
C#
All the pictures have
B
All been washed in black
D#m
Tattooed everything
C#
All the love gone bad
B
Turned my world to black
C#
And tattooed all I see,
B
All that I am,
D#m
All I'll be
[Bridge]
C# B D#m C# B
Yeah Uh huh Uh huh
D#m
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
C# B
I know you'll be a star in somebody elses sky
D#m C# B
But why, why, why can't it be,
B D#m C# B
Why can't it be mine
