Capo on 3rd fret.

D5              A5             A5              G5
Your heartbeat is pulsing at night in your chest
It's gold and it's glowing with all the life you have left
I received your words from hospitals where you felt alone
Your words like smoke, they made me sick but they kept me warm

F5           C5            G5            G5
Run where you'll be safe
Through the garden gates
F           C             G (strum once then stop)
To the shelter of magnolias

D5               A5            A5              G5
Eyes like sea glass, so weathered and worn
From all they've seen of adolescence torn
The lovers who have tainted you, they pulled you into the night
They touched your skin with velvet gloves and made you feel alive

F5           C5            G5            G5
Run where you'll be safe
Through the garden gates        
F5           C5            G5            G5
To the shelter of magnolias
F5           C5            G5            G5
There's not much time
The blush in the sky 
F5           C5            G5            G5
begins to fade

A5        F5                C5
You are weathered and worn
E5       
Your petals soft and torn
A5  F5      E5  E5
The fading color
A5        F5                C5
You have bent your shoulders
E5       
To hold the weight of the world
A5  F5      E5  E5
You will surely shatter

To the shelter of magnolias
F5           C5            G5            G5
There's not much time
The blush in the sky 
F5           C5            G5            G5
begins to fade
