• Difficulty: Intermediate

Key: C#




Verse 1:
                          Ab5
I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm
                           Ab5
And the scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold
   Ebm    Eb              Abm
My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones
              Db           Abm
It keeps my veins hot, the fire's found a home in me
                   Db
I move through town, I'm quiet like a fight
     Abm                 Ebm
And my necklace is of rope, I tie it and untie it

Pre-Chorus:
    Abm
And now people talk to me, but nothing ever hits home
 B                Gb
People talk to me, and all the voices just burn holes
          Abm
I'm done with it (Ooh)

Chorus:
                 Ebm
This is the start of how it all ends
                        Gb
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it

I'm speeding up and this is the
Db              Ebm          Abm
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
                  Ebm
We're at the start, the colors disappear
                          Gb
I never watch the stars, there's so much down here

So I just try to keep up with them
Db              Ebm          Abm
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

Verse 2:
                      Db
I dream all year, but they're not the sweet kinds
     Abm                     Ebsus4 Ebm
And the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time

Pre-Chorus:
    Abm          Ab
And now people talk to me I'm slipping out of reach now
B                 Gb
People talk to me, and all their faces blur
        Abm
But I got my fingers laced together and I made a little prison
     Gb                      Abm
And I'm locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me

I'm done with it (Ooh)

Chorus:
                 Ebm
This is the start of how it all ends
                        Gb
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it

I'm speeding up and this is the
Db              Ebm          Ab
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
    Abm              Ebm
We're at the start, the colors disappear
                          Gb
I never watch the stars, there's so much down here

So I just try to keep up with them
Db              Ebm          Abm
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

Outro:
Abm
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
         Ebm
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
Gb
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
         Db             Ebm
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat-beat-beat-beat
