[Verse]
N.C.
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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)
[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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)
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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!
