  Sheets of empty canvas untouched sheets of clay  

  Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
• EAEAEAE
  S2:
  All five horizons revolved around her soul (as the Earth to the Sun) 

  Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
• CCDCEmiDCE5E5E5
  R1:
  Oh and all I taught her was everything 

  Oh I know she gave me all that she wore 

  And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds 

  Of what was everything, oh the pictures have 

  All been washed in black tattooed everything

  S3:
  I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play 

  I can feel their laughter so why do I sear
• CCDCEmiDCEmiCDDCEmiDE5E5C
  R2:
  Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head (I'm spinning) 

  Oh, I'm spinning how quick the sun can, drop away 

  And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds of what was everything 

  Oh the pictures have, all been washed in black tattooed everything 

  All the love gone bad, turned my world to black 

  Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all that I'll be, yeah

  Uh huh, uh huh, oh

  D1:
  I know someday you'll have a beautiful life 

  I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky 

  But why, why, why can't it be 

  Oh can't it be mi---i--ine
