Verse:
[G]It was the summer I
[Dm]Learned to love politics
And [C]Elliott Smith 'cause you did
[G]Swinging in the backyard
[Dm]Wind in my hair and words
You're [C]playing it cool like a kid
Chorus:
But I'm the kind of [F]girl that you write songs about
Mystery you can't get out your [C]head before you sleep at night
Once in a lifetime
You're taking[F]taking pictures you can't bear to lose
Be the artist to my muse
I think [C]dying is a beautiful thing to do
By your [F]sid[C]side
Verse:
[G]I bleed on paper so the
[Dm]Fact of the fiction is a[C]alive on the page when I'm gone
[G]Coming undone in dark corridors
We're [Dm]catching our breath just for a moment
And [C]I could waste all of my timе in between the lines
Chorus:
'Causе I'm the kind of [F]girl that you write songs about
Mystery you can't get out your [C]head before you sleep at night

You're taking[F]taking pictures you can't bear to lose
Be the artist to my muse
I think [C]dying is a beautiful thing to do
By your [F]sid[C]side
Bridge:
[G]Every movement in my rear view
And [Dm]every place in reference to you
If [C]nothing else, can I be your regret?
Years from now
Chorus:
I'm the kind of [F]girl that you write songs about
Mystery you can't get out your [C]head before you sleep at night
Once in a lifetime

Be the artist to my muse
I think [C]dying is a beautiful thing to do
By your [F]sid[C]side
