Black Live Acoustic


This is taken from the first live acoustic version. I just corrected the lyrics and changed the chords a bit, to make it sound better. At least, I think so. E7, Asus2, E7, Asus2, E7, A, E7, E7 E7 Asus2 E7 Asus2 Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay E7 A E Were laid spread out before me as her body once did E7 Asus2 E7 Asus2 All five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun E7 A E Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn C Em Hmmmm, and all I taught her was everything C Em Hmmmm, I know she gave me all that she wore D And now my bitter hands, C Chafe beneath clouds Em Of what was everything D Oh, the pictures C Have all been washed in black Em Tattooed everything E7 Asus2 E7 Asus2 I take a walk outside I'm surrounded by some kids at play E7 A E Oh, I can feel their laughter so, why do I sear C Em Hmmmm, and twisted thoughts that spin 'round my head, I'm spinning, oh C Em I'm spinning, How quick the sun can drop away D And now my bitter hands C Cradle broken glass Em Of what was everything D All 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 And tattooed all I see, C All that I am, Em All I'll be D C Em D C Yeah Uh huh Uh huh Em I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, D C I know you'll be a sun in somebody elses sky Em D C But why, why, why can't it be, C Em D C Why can't it be mine Em, D, C (ad lib till end)
