Verse 1

E                               A
Sheets of empty canvas
………………E                          A
Untouched sheets of clay
………E
Were laid spread out
……A
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
Now the air
….A
I tasted and breathed
…..E
Has taken a turn

..C
Oh and all I taught her was
………Em
Everything
..C
Oh I know she gave me all
……….Em
That she wore
…………………D
And now my bitter hands
…………….C
Chafe beneath the clouds
…………………………Em
Of what was everything
…………D
Oh the pictures have
…………..C
All been washed in black
……………………E
Tattooed everything

Verse 2

E                   A
… I take a walk outside
……….E
I’m surrounded by
………………..A
Some kids at play
E                            A
I can feel their laughter
…E
So why do I sear

..C
Oh, and twisted thoughts
That spin
…………..Em
Round my head
I’m spinning
……………C
Oh, I’m spinning
How quick the sun can,
……….Em
Drop away
…………………D
And now my bitter hands
…………C
Cradle broken glass
…………………………Em
Of what was everything
…………D
All the pictures had
……………C
All been washed in black
……………………Em
Tattooed everything
………..D
All the love gone bad
……………….C
Turned my world to black
………………..D
Tattooed all I see
………….C
All that I am
………..Em      D
All I’ll be ……..
..C         Em   D   C
Yeah

..Em
I know someday
You’ll have a beautiful life
D
I know you’ll be a star
…C
In somebody else’s sky
…….Em
But why, why
D                  C
Why can’t it be
…………………….Em    D     C  Em
Why can’t it be mine ?
