  E7          E4(7/9)   A5/E
Sheets of empty        canvas
   E4(7/9)  E7        E4(7/9)  A6/E  A5/E
Untouched sheets of clay
      E7              E  A
Were laid spread out be_fore me
    E7
As her body once did

E7        E4(7/9)  A5/E
All five ho_______rizons
   E4(7/9)  E7              E4(7/9)
Revolved    around her soul
A6/E                      A5/E
     As the earth to the sun, yeah

Now the air I tasted and breathed

I'm surrounded by some kids at play

So, why do I sear?
