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