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