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