Lyrics and Guitar Chords Lorde - Yellow Flicker Beat

 G                
My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones
   F                                            Cm
It keeps my veins hot, the fires find a home in me

                                      F
I move through town, I'm quiet like a fire
       Cm                                  G
And my necklace is of rope, I tie it and untie it


        Cm
And our people talk to me, but nothing ever hits
   Eb                             Bb
So people talk to me, and all the voices just burn the holes
              Cm
I'm going in -whole-


                                Gm
This is the start of how it all ends
                                               Bb
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
           
I'm speeding up and this is the
F                           Gm                     Cm
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
                                  Gm
We rip the start, the colors disappear
                                                 Bb
I never watch the stars there's so much down here

So I just try to keep up with them
F                         Gm                       Cm
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart


                                           F
I dream all year, but they're not the same kinds
        Cm                                            G
And the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time


        Cm
And now people talk to me, I'm slipping out of reach now
Eb                                Bb
People talk to me, and all their faces blur bright, I got my
Cm                                         
Fingers laced together and I made a little prison
        Gb*
And I'm locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me
              Cm
I'm going in -whole-


                                Gm
This is the start of how it all ends
                                               Bb
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
           
I'm speeding up and this is the
F                          Gm                   Cm
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
                                  Gm
We rip the start, the colors disappear
                                                 Bb
I never watch the stars there's so much down here

So I just try to keep up with them
F                          Gm                     Cm
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart, oh oh oh
                Gm
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat
                    Bb
Sparking up my heart, oh oh oh
                F                           Gm             Gm
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat-beat-beat-beat, mmmm
