[Intro]
D G A x2
[Verse 1]
D A
Blood on my shirt, two ripped buttons
G A
Might’ve killed me that time oh if I’d let him
D G A
He’s slow when he’s drunk, and he lost his grip on me
D
Now I’m running down la rue St. Paul
G A
Trying to get out from the weight of it all
D Asus4 A
Can’t flag a cop ’cause I know he won’t stop
G A
I’ll go see Persephone
[Chorus]
G A
Tap tap tappin’ on your window screen
D G
Gotta let me in Persephone
A D
Got nowhere to go but I had to get away from him
G A Asus4
My petals are bruised but I’m still a flower
D A G/B
Come runnin’ to you in the violet hour
G A D
Put your skinny arms around me, let me taste your skin
[Verse 2]
D
Mouth to mouth, mouth to flower
G A
Salty sweet you give me power
D
I feel you shake under my lips
G A
Your fingers tender find my secrets
D
Don’t make a sound, don’t cry out love
G A
Your parents are sleeping just above
D
I kiss you once, I kiss you twice
G A
Fall asleep looking in each other’s eyes
[Chorus]
G A
Tap tap tappin’ on your window screen
D G
Gotta let me in Persephone
A D
Got nowhere to go but I had to get away from him
G A Asus4
My petals are bruised but I’m still a flower
D A G/B
Come runnin' to you in the violet hour
G A D
Put your skinny arms around me, let me taste your skin
