Scarlet

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

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

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

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


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

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