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