Chords
Transpose
Verse 1
Sheets of empty canvas,
untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
as her body once did
All five horizons revolved
around her soul as the earth to
the sun
Now the air I tasted and
breathed has taken a turn
Pre-chorus 1
Oh, and all I taught her was
everything
Oh, I know she gave me all that
she wore
Chorus
And now my bitter hands,
Chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
Verse 2
I take a walk outside, I'm
surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so
why do I sear
Pre-chorus 2
Oh, and twisted thoughts that
spin 'round my head, I'm
spinning, oh
I'm spinning, how quick the sun
can drop away
Chorus
And now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
And tattooed all I see,
All that I am,
All that I'll be
Bridge
Yeah Uh huh Uh huh Uh
I know someday you'll have a
beautiful life,
I know you'll be a star in
somebody else's sky
But why, why, why can't it be,
Oh can't it be mine
ooh, ah yeah, aah ooh
(Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo)

[Outro] (x7)
