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