Verse 1
E
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
B A
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
E
All five horizons revolved around her soul
B A
As the earth to the sun
E B A
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Verse 2
E B
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
A E
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
B A
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
E B
Of what was everything?
A E B
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything…
A
Chorus
E B A
I take a walk outside, I’m surrounded by some kids at play
E B
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?
A
E B A
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin ’round my head, I’m spinning
E B A
Oh, I’m spinning, how quick the sun can drop away
Verse 3
E B
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
A E
Of what was everything?
B A E B
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything…

All the love gone bad turned my world to black

G
Yeah…

A
Outro
E
I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life
B A
I know you’ll be a star in somebody else’s sky
E B
But why, why, why can’t it be, why can’t it be mine?
A
E B A
We… belong… together…
E B A
We… belong… together…
E B A
We… belong… together…
