Black Chords

The intro and verse go as it is tabbed below.
Rest of the song goes as usual, optionally
you can tune your guitar a half-step down tuning,
as it makes the song a little bit easier to sing.

[Intro]
 
E7, Esus, E7, E6sus9, E7
 
E7     Esus    E7      E6sus9    E7
 
Hey,      hey,      yeah,        uh
 
[Verse 1]
 
         E7             Esus       E7    E6sus9  E7
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
        E7                 Esus         E7
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
 E7              Esus        E7             E6sus9               E7
All five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun
 E7             Esus                E7
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn, ooh
 
[Pre-Chorus]
   C                               Em
Hmmmmm, And all I taught her was everything
   C                              Em
Hmmmmm, I know she gave me all that she wore
 
[Chorus]
               D
And now my bitter hands
     C
chafe beneath the clouds
         Em
Of what was everything
      D
Oh, the pictures have
        C
all been washed in black
          Em
Tattooed everything
 
[Verse 2]
  E7          Esus          E7         E6sus9        E7
I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play
   E7              Esus         E7
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
 
[Pre-Chorus]
  C                                      Em
Hmmmmm, and twisted thoughts that spin 'round my head
                        C                                      Em
I'm spinning, Hmmmmmm I'm spinning, how quick the sun can drop away
 
[Chorus]
                   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
Tattooed all I see,
        C
all that I am,
         Em
all I'll be
D        C
       yeah
Em    D      C
Oh    oh     ooh
 
 
[Outro]
   Em
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
   D                          C
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky,
    Em
but why
          D
Why, why can't it be,
 C               Em
oh can't it be mine?
D        C       Em
Ooh, ah yeah, ah ooh
C               Em
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo,
D                C
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
