Intro: E E, A A, E E, A A

E E A A E E
Hey... oooh...


E E A A E E Asus4 Asus4 A A
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
E E A A E E
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did.
E E A A E E
All five horizons revolved around her soul
A A
As the earth to the sun
E E A A E E
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
C C Em Em
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
C C Em Em
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
D D C C
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
E E
Of what was everything.
D D C C
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed
E E
everything...


E E A A
I take a walk outside
E E A A
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
E E A A E E A A
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?
C C Em Em
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
C C
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
Em Em
How quick the sun can drop away


D D C C
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
E E
Of what was everything?
D D C C
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed
Em Em
everything...


D D C C
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
D D C C E E D D C C
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be..... yeah...
E E D D C C
Uh huh... uh huh... ooh...


Em Em
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
D D C C E E
I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky, but why
D D C C Em Em D D
Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine......


C C
Aah... uuh..


E E D D C C
Too doo doo too, too doo doo [many times until fade]

Alternately, you may just play on the A A String
(Frets)
2,3,5,3,2,3,2... repeatedly to compliment the song

Above all, have fun with it, mix it up! Throw in a minor chord, change your strum; play it how you interpret it.

I think the correct chord not E but 2424.
I would first pick the fourth fret on C, and then play this chord.
