Verse
D
It was the summer I
Am
Learned to love politics
G
And Elliott Smith 'cause you did
D
Swinging in the backyard
Am
Wind in my hair and words
G
You're playing it cool like a kid
[Chorus]
C
But I'm the kind of girl that you write songs about
G
Mystery you can't get out your head before you sleep at night
Once in a lifetime
C
You're taking pictures you can't bear to lose
Be the artist to my muse
G
I think dying is a beautiful thing to do
C G
By your side
[Verse]
D
I bleed on paper so the
Am G
Fact of the fiction is alive on the page when I'm gone
D
Coming undone in dark corridors
Am
We're catching our breath just for a moment
G
And I could waste all of my timе in between the lines
[Chorus]
C
'Causе I'm the kind of girl that you write songs about
G
Mystery you can't get out your head before you sleep at night
Once in a lifetime
C
You're taking pictures you can't bear to lose
Be the artist to my muse
G
I think dying is a beautiful thing to do
C G
By your side
[Bridge]
D
Every movement in my rear view
Am
And every place in reference to you
G
If nothing else, can I be your regret?
Years from now
[Chorus]
C
I'm the kind of girl that you write songs about
G
Mystery you can't get out your head before you sleep at night
Once in a lifetime
C
You're taking pictures you can't bear to lose
Be the artist to my muse
G
I think dying is a beautiful thing to do
C G
By your side
