Capo 4
Verse 1
I'm a [Em]princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm
And the scars [Am]that mark my body, they're silver and [Em]gold
My [B]blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones
It [Am]keeps my veins hot, the fires find a home in [Em]me
I move through [Em]town, I'm quiet like a [Am]fire
And my [Em]necklace is of rope, I tie it and [B]untie it
Pre-Chorus 1
And our [Em]people talk to me, but nothing ever hits
So people [G]talk to me, and all the [D]voices just burn holes
I'm going in [Em](ooh)
Chorus
[Em]This is the start of how it all ever [Bm]ends
They used to shout my [Bm]name, now they whisper it
[D]I'm speeding up and this is the
[Am]Red, orange, yellow flicker [Bm]beat sparking up my heart
We [Em]rip the start, the colors [Bm]disappear
I never watch the [Bm]stars there's so much down here
[D]So I just try to keep up with them
[Am]Red, orange, yellow flicker [Bm]beat sparking up my heart
Verse 2
[Em]I dream all year, but they're not the same [Am]kinds
And the [Em]shivers move down my shoulder blades in double [Bm]time
Pre-Chorus 2
And now [Em]people talk to me I'm slipping out of reach now
People talk to [G]me, and all their [D]faces blur
But I got my [Em]fingers laced together and I made a little prison
And I'm [D]locking up everyone that ever laid a finger on [Em]me
I'm going in [Em](ooh)
Chorus
This is the start of how it all ever [Bm]ends
They used to shout my [Bm]name, now they whisper it
[D]I'm speeding up and this is the
[Am]Red, orange, yellow flicker [Bm]beat sparking up my heart
We [Em]rip the start, the colors [Bm]disappear
I never watch the [Bm]stars there's so much down here
[D]So I just try to keep up with them
[Am]Red, orange, yellow flicker [Bm]beat sparking up my heart
Outro
[Em] And this is the [Bm]red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my [D]heart
And this is the [Am]red, orange, yellow [Bm]flicker [Em]beat-beat-beat-beat
