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]
G# Cm
Hmmmm, and all I taught her was everything
G# Cm
Hmmmm, I know she gave me all that she wore
[Chorus]
A#
And now my bitter hands,
G#
Chafe beneath clouds
Cm
Of what was everything
A#
Oh, the pictures
G#
Have all been washed in black
Cm
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]
G# Cm
Hmmmm, and twisted thoughts that spin 'round my head,
I'm spinning, oh
G# Cm
I'm spinning, How quick the sun can drop away
[Chorus]
A#
And now my bitter hands
G#
Cradle broken glass
Cm
Of what was everything
A#
All the pictures have
G#
All been washed in black
Cm
Tattooed everything
A#
All the love gone bad
G#
Turned my world to black
A#
And tattooed all I see,
G#
All that I am,
Cm
All I'll be
[Bridge]
A# G# Cm A# G#
Yeah Uh huh Uh huh
Cm
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
A# G#
I know you'll be a star in somebody elses sky
Cm A# G#
But why, why, why can't it be,
G# Cm A# G#
Why can't it be mine
