Yellow Flicker Beat

         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
