Intro:
E7 A E7 A E7 A E
Verse 1:
E7 A
Sheets of empty canvas
E7 A
Untouched sheets of clay
E7 A E
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
E7 A
All five horizons revolved
E7 A
Around her soul, as the earth to the sun
E7 A E
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Pre-Chorus:
C Em
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
C Em
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
Chorus:
Dsus2 C Em
And now my bitter hands shade beneath the clouds of what was everything
Dsus2 C Em
All the pictures have all been washed in black tattooed every day
Verse 2:
E7 A
I take a walk outside
E7 A
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
E7 A E
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?
Pre-Chorus:
C Em
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head, I'm spinning
C Em
Oh, I'm spinning, how quick the sun can drop away
Chorus:
Dsus2 C Em
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything
Dsus2 C Em
All the pictures have all been washed in black tattooed everything
Dsus2 C
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Dsus2 C Em
Tattooed all I see all that I am all that I'll be yeah
Dsus2 C Em
Uh huh uh huh ooh
Dsus2
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
C Em
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky
Dsus2 C Em
But why, why, why can't it be, oh, can't it be
Dsus2 C Em
Mine?
Dus2 C Em
Ooh ahhh yeah ahh ooh
Dsus2 C Em
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Dsus2 C Em
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Dsus2 - C - Em

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official PEARL JAM tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
