Key: F#m Intro: Em C Am B7 Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah Em C Am B7 Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah Verse 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
Pre-Chorus: 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 *= single strum Chorus: 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 Post-Chorus: 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 Verse 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 Pre-Chorus: 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 Chorus: 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 Post-Chorus: 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 Bridge: 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 Chorus: 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 Post-Chorus: 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
