E Asus2 E Asus2 Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay E A E Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
E Asus2 E Asus2 All five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun E A E Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
C Em Oh, and all I taught her was everything C Em Oh, I know she gave me all that she wore
D And now my bitter hands, C Chafe beneath the clouds Em Of what was everything D All the pictures have C All been washed in black Em Tattooed everything
E Asus2 E Asus2 I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play E A E I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
C Em Oh, 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 that I'll be
D C Em D C Yeah Uh huh Uh huh Uh Em I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, D C I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky Em D C But why, why, why can't it be, C Em D C Oh can't it be mine Em D C ooh, ah yeah, aah ooh C Em (Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo) Em D (Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo)
[Outro] (x7) D C Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo C Em Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo Em D Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
