E A9
Sheets of empty canvas,
E A9
Untouched sheets of clay
E A9
Were laid spread out before me
E
As her body once did

A9
All five horizons
E A9
Revolved around her soul

As the Earth to the Sun

E A9
Now the air I tasted and breathed
E
Has taken a turn

C Em
Oh, and all I taught that was everything
C Em
Oh, I know she gave me all that she wore

[Primeiro Refrão]

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
Em
Tattooed everything

[Segunda Parte]
E A9
I take a walk outside
E A9
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
E A9
I can feel their laughter
E
So why do I sear

[Pré-Refrão]
C
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin
Em
Round my head
C
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
Em
How quick the Sun can, drop away

[Segundo Refrão]

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
Tattooed all I see
C
All that I am
Em D C Em D C
All that I'll be, yeah

Em
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
D
I know you'll be a star
C Em D
In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why
C Em
Can't it be, can't it be mine
