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