[Intro ]
Em C Am B7
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
Em C Am B7
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
[Verso 1]
Em C
She looked like a painting by a Pre-Raphaelite
Am B7
With red hair cascadin', past her slopin' sad eyes, if
Em C
Rossetti could've seen her, how he would've cried, and
Am B7
He didn't have words like mine
Em
Auburn hair tucked into the neck of her
C Am
Father's blue cable-knit fisherman vest, so when
B7
I tuck my locks into the collar of my shirt
Em
From time to time, I think of her
[Pré-Refrão]
Am Em
And I'm everything that she isn't, and I would
B7
Make myself in her image if I could
Em
If I didn't know better, if I didn't know more
Am Em
She sits on velvet in candlelight
B7
Collaterally illuminating all my
Em
Inadequacies, I spent my life building pedestals
[Refrão]
C Em
And I get the feeling that when it's dark, she glows
C Em
She dances naked, my body, I could never show
C Em
She's in a painting and I'm out of it
C Em
And I make things, but she's made out of it
[Pós-Refrão]
N.C C Em
She's made out of it, out of it
C Em
She's made out of it, out of it
Em
She's made out of it
[Verso 2]
Em
I once watched as we sat by the stream
C
Her pluck a pink magnolia straight from the tree
Am
Without a care in the world, that flower, she did eat
B7 Em
So nonchalant, speaking to me
[Pré-Refrão]
Am Em
And there was a time I was certain, I was sure
B7
She grew straight from the earth on her pedestal
Em
But here in the dirt, I know her better, I know her more
Am Em
And I'd be subject to her laughter, if she ever did know
B7
Those things shaped me after into my skin sewn
Em
Even she is a patchwork and how I enjoy the fall
[Refrão]
C Em
I get the feeling that when it's dark, she glows
C Em
It's in her nature, not any kind of show
C Em
She's in a painting, and I'm out of it
C Em
And I make things, and she's made out of it
[Pós-Refrão]
N.C. C Em
She's made out of it, out of it
C Em
She's made out of it, out of it
N.C
She's made out of it
[Ponte]
N.C.
Red hair tucked into a blue sweater
N.C.
Hand-knit pink magnolia petals
N.C
And men swear blood oaths for their Helen
Asus2
But she needs no such defender
Em D
Spider writing on her letters
C Am
I know her more, I know her better
Em D
I know her flaws, and I've known heaven
C Am
I know her more, and
[Refrão]
C N.C. Em
I get the feeling that when it's dark, she glows
C Em
That it's in her nature, not any kind of show
C Em
She's in a painting, and I'm out of it
C Em
And I make things, and she's made out of it
[Pós-Refrão]
N.C. C Em
She's made out of it, out of it
C Em
She's made out of it, out of it
N.C.
She's made out of it
