A  D  A  A


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


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


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


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


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


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

I'm spinning, oh
  F                     
  I'm spinning, How quick
                   Am
the sun can drop away


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


[Bridge]
G  F     Am      G       F
   Yeah  Uh huh  Uh huh
  Am  
I know someday you'll

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