Standard Tuning

E A Asus4 A

Sheets of empty canvas

E A A Asus4 A

untouched sheets of clay

E A

her lace spread out before me

E

as her body once did

E A Asus4 A

all five horizons,

E A Asus4 A

revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun

E A

now the air I tasted and breathed,

E

has taken a turn

C Em

oooh all I know I taught her was.. everything

C Em

oooh all I she gave me all.. that she wore

D

and my bitter hands

C

shake beneath the clouds

Em

of what was everything

D C

all the pictures have all been washed in black

Em

tatooed everything

E A Asus4 A

I take a walk outside

E A Asus4 A

I'm surrounded by some kids at play

E A

I can feel their laughter

E

so what can I say

C Em

ooh all my twisted thoughts they spin round my head im spinnin

C Em

oooh i'm spinnin how quick the sun can drop awayayayay

D

and my bitter hands

C

cradle broken glass

Em

of what was everything

D C

all my pictures have all been washed in black

Em

tatooed everything

D

all my love gone bad

C

turned my world to black

D

tatooed all I see

C

all that I am

Em

all that I'll beeeeeeee yeaahheah

D

I know some day you'll have a beautiful life

C

I know you'll be a sun,

Em D C

in somebody else's sky, whyhy, whyhy whyhy

Em

cant it be in, cant it be miiiiiiine.
