Black - Eddie Vedder chords
Start Jamming...
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
[A]
Were laid spread out before me as her body once [Gb] did
Oh, all [E] five horizons revolved around her song
I see earth through the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Oh, and all I taught her was everything
Oh, I know she gave me all
[Bb] that she [Eb]
wore
[E] And now my bitter hands shake beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
[G]
All the pictures have all been washed in black [Eb] Tattooed everything
[A]
I take a walk [Gb] outside
[E] I'm surrounded
[N] by some kids that play
I can feel their laughter
So why do I [E] sit?
[F]
[E] [C] Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin [E] round my head
I'm spinning, oh, [Em] [C] I'm spinning
Halfway the sun can't [Em] drive away
My
[D] bitter hands crave [C] a broken glass
Of what [Em] was everything
[A] All the [D] pictures have all [Em] [C] been washed in black Tattooed [E] everything
[Em]
[A] All the love gone bad turned [C] my world to black
[D] Tattooed on how I see
[C] All that I am, [Em] all I'll be
[D]
[C]
[E]
[D]
[C]
I [Em] know someday you'll have a [A] beautiful life
I know [D] you'll be inside
[C] Being somebody else's [E] guy
But [Em] why, why, [D] why [C] can't I be, can't I [E] be mine?
