Scarlet

E
Dress me in scarlet
                                       A
Ribbons and bows so everyone knows I'm hiding a face
                            1
That hadn't the grace to go free
E
Dress me in shadows
                                           A
Sad April skies have opened my eyes to the lie that I live
                     E
And given the river away
B                              A               E
I'll change these clothes if I want to, and I do

G                   C              A                 E
  I think that I've found out what no-one's about to tell me
G                   C           A                  B    Am
  I think that I've found out I don't wear scarlet well

E
Waiting before me
                                           A
Poets and painters may say, "When will you stumble our way
                            E
Kick off your red shoes and fly now"
     B                        A               E
I'll die for their words if I want to, and I do

G                   C              A                 E
  I think that I've found out what no-one's about to tell me
G                   C           A                  B    Am  B  Am  B  Am  B  Am
  I think that I've found out I don't wear scarlet well

E
Always before me
                                       A
Poets and sages may say, "We've been lamenting your fall
                          E
And carving it all into stone here
    B                      A                E
And skimming them into the river, just for you"

G                   C              A                 E
  I think that I've found out what no-one's about to tell me
G                   C             A                  E
  I think that I've found out the place where angels fell from
G                   C           A                  B    Am  B  Am  B  Am  B  Am  B  Am  B  Am  B
  I think that I've found out I don't wear scarlet well
