Verse
N.C.
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
Pre-Chorus
[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)
Chorus
[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
Verse
[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
Pre-Chorus
[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)
Chorus
[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
Outro
[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!
