E7                   A5
Sheets of empty canvas
          E7             E5
Untouched sheets of clay
E7                         A5   E5
Her legs spread out before me as her body was there
E            A
All five horizons revolved
 E               A
Around her soul, I see earth through the sun
 E               A                          E
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

     C5                                      E5
Ooh, all and all I taught her was everything
    G5 C5                                 E5
Ooh,   all I know she gave me all that she wore

           D5
And now my bitter hands
         C5
Shake beneath the clouds
                 E5
Of what was everything
          D5                      C5
All the pictures have all been washed in black
               E5
Tattooed every day

E               A
 I take a walk outside
            E               A
I'm surrounded by some kids that play
E                     A       E
I can feel their laughter, so what do I say?

    C5                                          E5
Oh, hot and twisted thoughts that spin 'round my head, I'm spinning
   G5      C5                                       E5
Oh,   I'm spinning, how quick the sun can drop away

           D5
And now my bitter hands
             C5
They're on broken glass
                 E5
Of what was everything

        D5                        C5
All the pictures have all been washed in black
               E5
Tattooed every day

        D5
All the love gone bad
            C5
Turned my world to black
              D5
Tattooed all I see
         C5                 E5  D5      C5   E5   D5
All that I am all that I'll be,    yeah      ah,  ah

C5  E5
   I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
 D5
I know you'll be as such
   C5
In somebody else's sky
E5            D5          C5
But why, why, why can't it be? How can it be?
