Capo 1
Verse
I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm
And the scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold...
My [D]blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones
It [C]keeps my veins hot, the fires find a home in [Gm]me
I move through town, I'm quiet like a [C]fire
And my [Gm]necklace is of rope, I tie it and un[D]untie it
Pre-Chorus
And our [Gm]people talk to me, but nothing ever hits
So [A#]people talk to me, and all the v[F]voices just burn the holes
I'm going in ([Gm](whole)
Chorus
This is the start of how it all [Dm]ends
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it[F]it
I'm speeding up and this is the
[C]Red, orange, yellow flicker [Dm]beat sparking up my heart[Gm]heart
We rip the start, the colors disap[Dm]disappear
I never watch the stars there's so much down here[F]here
So I just try to keep up with them
[C]Red, orange, yellow flicker [Dm]beat sparking up my heart[Gm]heart
Verse
I dream all year, but they're not the same [C]kinds
And the [Gm]shivers move down my shoulder blades in double [D]time
Pre-Chorus
And now [Gm]people talk to me, I'm slipping out of reach now
[A#]People talk to me, and all their f[F]faces blur bright, I got my
[Gm]Fingers laced together and I made a little prison
And I'm [F]locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me
I'm going in ([Gm](whole)
Chorus
This is the start of how it all [Dm]ends
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it[F]it
I'm speeding up and this is the
[C]Red, orange, yellow flicker [Dm]beat sparking up my heart[Gm]heart
We rip the start, the colors disap[Dm]disappear
I never watch the stars there's so much down here[F]here
So I just try to keep up with them
[C]Red, orange, yellow flicker [Dm]beat sparking up my heart[Gm]heart, oh oh oh
Outro
And this is the [Dm]red, orange, yellow flicker beat
Sparking up my heart[F]heart, oh oh oh
And this is the [C]red, orange, yellow flicker [Dm]beat-beat-beat-[Dm]beat-beat-beat-beat, mmmm
