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