CAPO ON 1st FRET

(*= one strum)


(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
  A#               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
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)




                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       Dm*/mute
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat-beat-beat-beat, mmmm




Have fun!
