Enjoy. I think the chords are right


Intro: E, A, E, A

 E  A     E  
Hey... oooh...


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


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


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


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


  C
Aah... uuh..


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

Alternately, you may just play on the 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.
