| Intro: |
| E A9 E E9 A E |
| E A E |
| Hey... |
| E A |
| Sheets of empty canvas |
| E A |
| untouched sheets of clay |
| E A |
| Were laid spread out before me |
| E |
| as her body once did |
| E A E A |
| All five horizons revolved around her soul |
| A |
| As the earth to the sun |
| E A |
| Now the air I tasted and breathed |
| E |
| has taken a turn |
| C E |
| Ooh, and all I taught her was everything |
| C E |
| Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore |
| D |
| And now my bitter hands chafe |
| C |
| beneath the clouds |
| E |
| Of what was everything? |
| D C |
| Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black |
| E |
| tattooed everything... |
| E A |
| I take a walk outside |
| E A |
| I'm surrounded by some kids at play |
| E A E |
| I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear |
| C |
| Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin |
| E |
| round my head I'm spinning |
| C |
| oh, I'm spinning |
| E |
| How quick the sun can, drop away |
| D C |
| And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass |
| E |
| Of what was everything? |
| D C |
| All the pictures have all been washed in black |
| E |
| tattooed everything... |
| D C |
| All the love gone bad turned my world to black |
| D C |
| Tattooed all I see, all that I am |
| E D C |
| all I'll ever be... yeah... |
| Bridge (repeating till the end): |
| E D C E |
| Bridge: |
| E E E E x4 |
| E D C |
| Uh huh... uh huh... ooh... |
| E |
| I know someday you'll have a beautiful life |
| D |
| I know you'll be a star |
| C E |
| In somebody else's sky, but why |
| D C |
| Why, why can't it be |
| E D C E D C E |
| why can't it be mine |
| Bridge: |
| E E E E x4 |
| Ending: |
| E E E E x4 |
