Verse 1

E               Asus2 

Sheets of empty canvas

          E              Asus2

untouched sheets of clay      

     E                 A      

Were laid spread out before me

E

as her body once did

E           Asus2         

All five horizons revolved

E               Asus2                  

around her soul as the earth to the sun

E             A                  

Now the air I tasted and breathed

E

has taken a turn

Pre-chorus 1

C                                    Em

Oh, and all I taught her was everything

C                                   Em  

Oh, I know she gave me all that she wore

Chorus

D

And now my bitter hands

C

Chafe beneath the clouds

Em

Of what was everything

D

All the pictures have

C

All been washed in black

Em

Tattooed everything

Verse 2

E        Asus2       

I take a walk outside

       E               Asus2       

I'm surrounded by some kids at play

E                A       

I can feel their laughter

E

so why do I sear

Pre-chorus 2

C

Oh.. and twisted thoughts that spin round

Em

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     D    C 

All that I'll be..    Yeah
