She's a [A] filthy canvas, [E] untouched, she's a clay.
[A] Her
[E] lips were spread out [A] before me as [E] her body was still.
Oh, all [A] five horizons [C] [E] revolved around her song, [A]
as we yoke to the [E] sun.
Now each ear [A] I taste and breathe [E] has taken a turn.
[C] Oh, and I thought her was [Em] everything.
[C] Oh, I know she gave me all [Em] that she was.
And [D] now my bitter hands shake [C] beneath the clouds.
Oh, [Em] the one who was everything.

I take a [A] walk outside.
[C] I'm [E] surrounded by [A] some kids that fed.
[E] I can feel [A] their laughter.
[E] So, what do I say?
[C] Oh, I'm twisted, thoughts that spin around [E] my head.
I'm spinning, oh, [Em] [C] I'm spinning, half-wicked, sunken.
[Em] Drop away, [E] [Em] [D] now my bitter hands [C] cradle broken glass.
Of what [Em] was everything.
[D] All the pictures said, [C] old man washed in black, tattooed [E] everything.
[Em] All [D] the love gone bad, turned [C] my world to black, tattooed [D] on how I see.
All [C] that I am, [Em] all that I'll be.
[D]
[C] Yeah.
[E] Uh-huh,
[D] uh-huh.
[C] I
[E] know someday you'll have a beautiful [D] life.
I know you'll be a star [C] in somebody else's [E] sky.
But why, why, [D] why [C] can't it be, how can it [E] be?
