Pearl Jam - Black
E A E

Hey...
|
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 E A
|
All five horizons revolved around her soul
|
A
|
As the earth to the sun
|
E A
|
Now the air I tasted and breathed
|
E
|
has taken a turn
|
C E
|
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
|
C E
|
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
|
D
|
And now my bitter hands chafe
|
C
|
beneath the clouds
|
E
|
Of what was everything?
|
D C
|
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black
|
E
|
tattooed everything...
|
E A
|
I take a walk outside
|
E A
|
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
|
E A E
|
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
|
C
|
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin
|
E
|
round my head I'm spinning
|
C
|
oh, I'm spinning
|
E
|
How quick the sun can, drop away
|
D C
|
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
|
E
|
Of what was everything?
|
D C
|
All the pictures have all been washed in black
|
E
|
tattooed everything...
|
D C
|
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
|
D C
|
Tattooed all I see, all that I am
|
E D C
|
all I'll ever be... yeah...
|
Bridge (repeating till the end):
|
E D C
|
Uh huh... uh huh... ooh...
|
E
|
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
|
D
|
I know you'll be a star
|
C E
|
In somebody else's sky, but why
|
D C
|
Why, why can't it be
|
E D C E D C E
|
why can't it be mine
|
