Sheets of [A] empty canvas, [Am]
[E] of such sheets of clay,
[A] were
[E] laid spread [A] out before me as [E] her body was still.
From all five [A] horizons, threefold [E] the realm of sin,
[A] revealed to the [E] sun.
Now be [A] here, I tasted and [E] breathed,
she has taken me to her.
[C] Oh, I know I thought her was [Em] everything.
Oh, [C] I know she gave me all [Em] that she was.
And [D] now my bitter hand, [C] shaped beneath the cloud,

[Em] [D] All the pictures had, all [C] been washed in black,
[E] tattooed everything.

[E] And [Em] [D] now my bitter hand, [C] cradled broken glass,
of [Em] what was everything.
[D] All the pictures had, [C] all been washed in black,
[E] tattooed everything.
[Em] [D] All the love, all the [C] magic, my world's a black,
[D] tattooed on how I see, all [C] that I am, [Em] all I'll be.
[D] [C] Yeah!
[E] Uh-huh, [D] uh [C]-huh, I [E] know someday you'll have a beautiful [D] life.
I know you'll be the star [C] in somebody else's [E] sky.
