[Intro]
C# F# C# F#
C# F# C# C#
[Verse]
C# F# C# F#
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
C# F# C#
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
[Verse]
C# F# C#
All five horizons revolved around her soul
F#
as the earth to the sun
C# F# C#
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
[Pre-chorus]
A C#m
Hmmmm, and all I taught her was everything
A C#m
Hmmmm, I know she gave me all that she wore
[Chorus]
B
And now my bitter hands,
A
Chafe beneath clouds
C#m
Of what was everything
B
Oh, the pictures
A
Have all been washed in black
C#m
Tattooed everything
[Verse]
C# F# C# F#
I take a walk outside I'm surrounded by some kids at play
C# F# C#
Oh, I can feel their laughter so, why do I sear
[Pre-chorus]
A C#m
Hmmmm, and twisted thoughts that spin 'round my head,
I'm spinning, oh
A C#m
I'm spinning, How quick the sun can drop away
[Chorus]
B
And now my bitter hands
A
Cradle broken glass
C#m
Of what was everything
B
All the pictures have
A
All been washed in black
C#m
Tattooed everything
B
All the love gone bad
A
Turned my world to black
B
And tattooed all I see,
A
All that I am,
C#m
All I'll be
[Bridge]
B A C#m B A
Yeah Uh huh Uh huh
C#m
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
B A
I know you'll be a star in somebody elses sky
C#m B A
But why, why, why can't it be,
A C#m B A
Why can't it be mine
[Outro]
C#m B A 8x
