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