[Estrofe]
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-Refrão]
        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)
[Refrão]
                                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
[Estrofe]
                                           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-Refrão]
        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)
[Refrão]
                                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
