Black

[Intro]
B E B E
B  E  B  B


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


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


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


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


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


[Pre-chorus]
G                           
  Hmmmm, and twisted thoughts
                     Bm
that spin 'round my head,

I'm spinning, oh
  G                     
  I'm spinning, How quick
                   Bm
the sun can drop away


[Chorus]
           A
And now my bitter hands
       G
Cradle broken glass
                Bm
Of what was everything
        A
All the pictures have
         G
All been washed in black
             Bm
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,
         Bm
All I'll be


[Bridge]
A  G     Bm      A       G
   Yeah  Uh huh  Uh huh
  Bm  
I know someday you'll

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


[Outro]
