Intro [D] [Bbm] [D]
Hey, oh
===

[D] Sheets of empty [Bbm] canvas
Untouched [D] sheets of clay [Bbm]
Were [D] laid spread out before [Bbm] me
As her body [D] once did
[D] All five horizons [Bbm]
Revolved [D] around her soul
As the earth to the sun [Bbm]
Now the [D] air I tasted and [Bbm] breathed
Has [D] taken a turn

Oh [A#] and all I taught her was everything [D#]
Oh [A#] I know she gave me all that she wore [D#]
And now my [Cb] bitter hands
Chafe beneath [A#] the clouds
Of what was everything [D#]
Oh the [Cb] pictures have
All been [A#] washed in black
Tattooed everything [D#]

[D] I take a [Bbm] walk outside
I'm [D] surrounded by
Some kids at [Bbm] play
[D] I can feel their [Bbm] laughter
So why do I [D] sear

[A#] Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin
Round my [D#] head
I'm spinning
[A#] Oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away [D#]
And now my bitter [Cb] hands
Cradle broken [A#] glass
Of what was everything [D#]
All the [Cb] pictures have
All been [A#] washed in black
Tattooed everything [D#]
All the [Cb] love gone bad
Turned my [A#] world to black
Tattooed all [Cb] I see
All that [A#] I am
All that [D#] I'll be, yeah [Cb]
[A#] Uh huh, [D#] uh huh, oh [Cb]
[A#] I know someday you'll have a beautiful [D#] life
[Cb] I know you'll be a [A#] star
In somebody Em else's sky
But why [Cb]
[A#] Why
Why can't it be [D#]
Oh can't it be mine [Cb]
[A#] tu tu tu tu tu tu [D#]
tu tu tu tu tu tu [Cb] x6⠀
