E7 A/E E7 [E9sus4] A
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
E7 A/E E7 [E9sus4] A
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
E7All five A/Ehorizons revolved around E7her soul Aas the earth to the sun

Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
---CHORUS 1--- [KEY G]
C [E9sus4] Em
Hmmmm, and all I taught her was everything
C [E9sus4] Em
Hmmmm, How quick the sun can drop away
And now my Dbitter hands,
CradleC broken glass
Of what was Emeverything
Oh, the Dpictures had
Have all been Cwashed in black
Tattooed everyEthing
---VERSE 2--- [KEY A]
E A/E E [E9sus4] A
I take a walk outside I'm surrounded by some kids at play
Oh, EI can feel their lauA/Eghter Asus4 A/Eso, Ewhy do I sear
---CHORUS 2--- [KEY G]
Hmm Cand twisted thoughts that spin 'round my Emhead, I'm spinning, oh
C [E9sus4] Em
I'm spinning, How quick the sun can drop away
And now my Dbitter hands Dsus4
Cradle Cbroken glass Csus4
Of what was everEmything
All the Dpictures have
All been Cwashed in black

Tattooed all DI see,
All that CI am,
All I'll Embe D CYeah
