Yellow Flicker Beat

Ooh. Ooh.

Ooh. I'm a (A5)princess cut from marble,

smoother than a storm.

And the (D5)scars that mark my body,

they're silver and (A5)gold.

My (E5)body's a flood of rubies,

precious stones.

It (D5)keeps my veins hot,

the fire's found a home in (A5)me.

I move through town, I'm quiet like a (D5)fire.

And my (A5)necklace is of rope,

I tie it and (E5)untie it.

And now (A5)people talk to me but nothing ever hits home.

(C5)People talk to me and all the (G5)voices just burn holes.

I'm going in, hoo.

This is the start

of how it all (Em)ends.

They used to shout my name,

now they whisper it.

(G)I'm speeding up,

and this is the (D5)red, orange,

yellow flicker (Em)beat sparking up my heart.

(A5)We're at the start,

the colors (Em)disappear.

I never watch the stars, there's so much down here.

(G)So I just try

keep up with the (D5)red, orange,

yellow flicker (Em)beat sparking up my heart.

(A5)I dream all year, but they're not the sweet (D5)kinds.

And the (A5)shivers move down my shoulder blades in double (E5)time.

Ooh, now (A5)people talk to me,

I'm slipping out of reach, now.

(C6)People talk to me and all their (G)faces blur.

But I got my (A5)fingers laced together,

and I made a little prison and I'm (G5)locking up ev'ryone who ever laid a finger on me.

I'm going in, hoo.

(Em)beat sparking up my heart.

(A5)And this is the (Em)red, orange,

yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart.

(G)And this is the (D5)red, orange,
