Yellow Flicker Beat

	  		


STANDARD TUNING w/ 
 
Capo on 1 

(*= one strum) 


(no chords) 
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 




        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) 



                                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 

  

                                           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 




        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) 




                                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 
                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!
