Capo on 1st fret
STANDARD TUNING w/
Capo on 1
(*= one strum)
(no chords)
I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm
And the scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold...
D
My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones
C Gm
It keeps my veins hot, the fires find a home in me
C
I move through town, I'm quiet like a fire
Gm D
And my necklace is of rope, I tie it and untie it
Gm
And our people talk to me, but nothing ever hits
A# F
So people talk to me, and all the voices just burn the holes
Gm
I'm going in (whole)
Dm
This is the start of how it all ends
F
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
I'm speeding up and this is the
C Dm Gm
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
Dm
We rip the start, the colors disappear
F
I never watch the stars there's so much down here
So I just try to keep up with them
C Dm Gm
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
C
I dream all year, but they're not the same kinds
Gm D
And the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time
Gm
And now people talk to me, I'm slipping out of reach now
A# F
People talk to me, and all their faces blur bright, I got my
Gm
Fingers laced together and I made a little prison
F*
And I'm locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me
Gm
I'm going in (whole)
Dm
This is the start of how it all ends
F
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
I'm speeding up and this is the
C Dm Gm
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
Dm
We rip the start, the colors disappear
F
I never watch the stars there's so much down here
So I just try to keep up with them
C Dm Gm
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart, oh oh oh
Dm
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat
F
Sparking up my heart, oh oh oh
C Dm Dm*/mute
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat-beat-beat-beat, mmmm
Have fun!
