Black

[Intro]
D G D G
D  G  D  D


[Verse]
D               G       
  Sheets of empty canvas,
           D              G
untouched sheets of clay
     D                 G    
  Were laid spread out before
           D
me as her body once did


[Verse]
D           G              
  All five horizons revolved
  D
around her soul
G
as the earth to the sun
D             G          
  Now the air I tasted and
              D
breathed has taken a turn


[Pre-chorus]
A#                       
  Hmmmm, and all I taught
              Dm
her was everything
A#                      
  Hmmmm, I know she gave
             Dm
me all that she wore


[Chorus]
           C
And now my bitter hands,
      A#
Chafe beneath clouds
            Dm
Of what was everything
        C
Oh, the pictures
              A#
Have all been washed in black
               Dm
Tattooed everything


[Verse]
D        G                  D        
  I take a walk outside I'm surrounded
        G
by some kids at play
    D                G        
  Oh, I can feel their laughter
     D
so, why do I sear


[Pre-chorus]
A#                           
  Hmmmm, and twisted thoughts
                     Dm
that spin 'round my head,

I'm spinning, oh
  A#                     
  I'm spinning, How quick
                   Dm
the sun can drop away


[Chorus]
           C
And now my bitter hands
       A#
Cradle broken glass
                Dm
Of what was everything
        C
All the pictures have
         A#
All been washed in black
             Dm
Tattooed everything
        C
All the love gone bad
          A#
Turned my world to black
                 C
And tattooed all I see,
         A#
All that I am,
         Dm
All I'll be


[Bridge]
C  A#     Dm      C       A#
   Yeah  Uh huh  Uh huh
  Dm  
I know someday you'll

have a beautiful life,
  C                     
  I know you'll be a star
      A#
in somebody elses sky
    Dm        C            A#
But why, why, why can't it be,
A#                 Dm     C      A#
Why can't it be mine


[Outro]
Dm C A# 8x
