Intro: D5 A5 x4


E                A                E                A
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched  sheets of clay.
      E                 A          E                A
were laid spread out before me as her body once did


E           A                   E              A
...All five horizons revolved around her soul    As the earth to the sun
E               A                      E            E
Now the air I tasted and breathed Has taken a turn


  C                                   Em
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
  C                                   Em
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore

            D
And now my bitter hands
         C
shade beneath the clouds
                 Em
Of what was everything?
           D
Oh, the pictures seared
          C
all been washed in black
                Em        E
 Tattooed everything...



E            A                  E                     A
...I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play
  E                  A          E               E
..I can feel their laughter, So why do I sear?


C                                       Em
and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
                            C                                 Em
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning, How quick the sun can, drop away

             D
And now my bitter hands
         C
cradle broken glass
                 Em
Of what was everything
          D
All the pictures seared
           C
all been washed in black,
               Em
tattooed everything...
          D
All the love gone bad
            C
Turned my world to black
             D               C              Em     D     C
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be.........yeah...
 Em         D       C
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...

   E                                         D
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be the sun
  C                          E        D             C
In somebody else's sky, but why Why, why can't it be
             E     D   C
can't it be miiiineeeeee...
