Lyrics

[Intro]
E A E
A E       A E
   Hey, oh

[Verse 1-1]
E                  A
Sheets of empty canvas
         E
Untouched sheets of clay
A     E                     A
 Were laid spread out before me
   E
As her body once did

[Verse 1-2]
E            A
All five horizons
          E
Revolved around her soul
A
 As the earth to the sun
E               A
Now the air I tasted and breathed
   E
Has taken a turn

[Pre-Chorus]
    C                                Em
Ohohoh and all I taught her was everything
    C                                Em
Ohohoh I know she gave me all that she wore
                 D
And now my bitter hands

[Chorus]
              C
Chafe beneath the clouds
                    Em
Of what was everything
            D
Oh the pictures have
                C
All been washed in black
                   Em
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

[Pre-Chorus]
    C
Oh, oh and twisted thoughts that spin
         Em
Round my head
I'm spinning
    C
Oh, I'm spinning
                              Em
How quick the sun can, drop away
           D
And now my bitter hands

[Chorus]
              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
Yeah

[Solo]
C Em D
C  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
Why can't it be mine
