[Am] [E]
[A] [E]
She's a filthy [A] canvas, [E] untouched, she's a clay.
[A]
[E] Her lips spread out before me as [E] her body was still.
All [A] five horizons [C] revolve [E] around the sun, [A] as the earth is the [E] sun.
Now deep here [A] I taste and breathe, as they can turn.
[C]
[Em]
I know she gave me all [Em] that she was.
And now [D] my bitter hand, [C] shades beneath the cloud, of what [E] was everything.
And [Em] all [D] the pictures had [C] all been washed in black, tied [E] to everything.
I take a [A] walk outside, [E] I'm surrounded by [A] some kids at play.
[E] I can feel their [A] laughter, so [E] I look to myself.
[C] And twisted thoughts have spun round [E] my bed.
I'm spinning, oh [C] I'm spinning, half-wicked, a sunken, [Em] drive away.
[E] Now [D] my bitter hand, great [C] old broken glass, of what was [Em] everything.
And all [D] the pictures had all [C] been washed in black, tied [E] to everything.
[Em] [D] All the love gone bad, [C] turned my world to black, tied [D] to the high seas.
[C] All that I [Em] thought I'd be.
[D] [C]
[E] [D]
[C] I [E] know someday you'll have a beautiful [D] life.
I know you'll be in love [C] with somebody else's [E] guy.
But why, why, [D] why [C] can't it be, oh can't it [E] be more.
