Capo 1

(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
   Bb                              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
Bb                                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                   Gm
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat-beat-beat-beat, mmmm
