this is taken from the first live acoustic version .
i just corrected the lyrics and changed the chords a bit , to make it sound better .
at least , i think so .
E7 , Asus2 , E7 , Asus2 , E7 , A , E7 , E7
E7 Asus2 E7 Asus2
sheets of empty canvas , untouched sheets of clay
E7 A E
were laid spread out before me as her body once did
E7 Asus2 E7 Asus2
all five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun
E7 A E
now the air i tasted and breathed has taken a turn
C Em
hmmmm , and all i taught her was everything
C Em
hmmmm , i know she gave me all that she wore
D
and now my bitter hands ,
C
chafe beneath clouds
Em
of what was everything
D
oh , the pictures
C
have all been washed in black
Em
tattooed everything
E7 Asus2 E7 Asus2
i take a walk outside i’m surrounded by some kids at play
E7 A E
oh , i can feel their laughter so , why do i sear
C Em
hmmmm , and twisted thoughts that spin ’round my head , i’m spinning , oh
C Em
i’m spinning , how quick the sun can drop away
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
all i’ll be
D C Em D C
yeah uh huh uh huh
Em
i know someday you’ll have a beautiful life ,
D C
i know you’ll be a sun in somebody elses sky
Em D C
but why , why , why can’t it be ,
C Em D C
why can’t it be mine
Em , D , C ( ad lib till end )
