Black

[Intro] E  A (3x)   E

[First Part]

  E              A
Sheets of empty canvas
            E            A
Untouched sheets of clay
      E                 A
Were laid spread out before me
    E
As her body once did

E           A
All five horizons
         E
Revolved around her soul
A
  As the earth to the sun, yeah
 E             A
Now the air I tasted and breathed
 E
Has taken a turn

[Pre-Chorus]

C
Mmm, and all I taught her was
       Em
Everything
C                             
Mmm, how quick the sun can drop 
    Em
away?

[Chorus]

            D
And now my bitter hands
         C
Cradle broken glass
Continues after the ad

                   Em
Of what was everything
         D
Oh, the pictures have
          C
All been washed in black
                Em
Tattooed everything

[Second Part]

E                A
   I take a walk outside
        E               A
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
E                 A
I can feel their laughter
      E
So, why do I sear?

[Pre-Chorus]

C
Mmm, and twisted thoughts that spin
          Em
Round my head
                        C
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
                             Em
How quick the sun can drop away?

[Chorus]

            D
And now my bitter hands
         C
Cradle broken glass
                   Em
Of what was everything
         D
Oh, the pictures have
          C
All been washed in black
                Em
Tattooed everything
         D
All the love gone bad
           C
Turned my world to black
             D
Tattooed all I see
         C
All that I am
               Em  D     C
All that I'll be____e, yeah
Em   D    C
Mmmm Mmmm Uhh
    Em
I know someday
You'll have a beautiful life
D
I know you'll be a star
    C
In somebody else's sky
      Em        D
But why? Why? Why
          C
Can't it be
                 Em  D  C  Em
Oh, can't it be mi_____ne?
