[Verse 1]
E                 A
Sheets of empty canvas
E                        A
Untouched sheets of clay
E                         A
Were laid spread out before me
E                    E
As her body once did
E           A                    E
All five horizons revolved around her, 'round her soul
A
As the Earth to the sun
    E               A
And now the air I tasted and breathed
E                E
Has taken a turn
C                              E
And all I taught her was everything
C                                   E
And I know she gave me all that she wore


[Chorus]
           D                    C
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
             E
Of what was everything
         D                     C
All the pictures have all been washed in black
         E
Tattooed everything


[Verse 2]
E          A
I take a walk outside
E                       A
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
         E                A
And ooh, I can feel their laughter
E                 E
So why do I sear?
C                                        E
And twisted thoughts that spin around my head
E                     C
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
    C                      E
How quick the sun can drop away


[Chorus]
           D                     C
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
             E
Of what was everything
         D                     C
All the pictures have all been washed in black
          E
Tattooed everything
        D                       C
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
                  D
Tattooed all that I see
         C
All that I am
              E     D      C
All I'll ever be,          yeah
E       D        C
Oh Oh   Ooooooh  Whoooo


[Outro]
E
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
D                           C                     E
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's skies, but why
     D            C               E     D      C
Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine? Mine
E                     D                 C              E
    Do Doo Doo Doo Do Do Doo Doo Doo Do Do Doo Doo Doo Do
     D                            C                 E
We belong, We belong, we belong together, together, ooh
D                          C       E
We, we belong, we belong together, yeah
