E5 
Dress me in scarlet 
                                       A5 
Ribbons and bows so everyone knows I'm hiding a face 
                            1                        
That hadn't the grace to go free 
E5 
Dress me in shadows 
                                           A5 
Sad April skies have opened my eyes to the lie that I live 
                     E5 
And given the river away 
B5                              A5               E5 
I'll change these clothes if I want to, and I do 
 

G5                   C5              A5                 E5 
  I think that I've found out what no-one's about to tell me 
G5                   C5           A5                  B5    A5 
  I think that I've found out I don't wear scarlet well 
 

E5 
Waiting before me 
                                           A5 
Poets and painters may say, "When will you stumble our way 
                            E5 
Kick off your red shoes and fly now" 
     B5                        A5               E5 
I'll die for their words if I want to, and I do 
 

G5                   C5              A5                 E5 
  I think that I've found out what no-one's about to tell me 
G5                   C5           A5                  B5    A5  B5  A5  B5  A5  B5  A5 
  I think that I've found out I don't wear scarlet well 
 

E5 
Always before me 
                                       A5 
Poets and sages may say, "We've been lamenting your fall 
                          E5 
And carving it all into stone here 
    B5                      A5                E5 
And skimming them into the river, just for you" 
 

G5                   C5              A5                 E5 
  I think that I've found out what no-one's about to tell me 
G5                   C5             A5                  E5 
  I think that I've found out the place where angels fell from 
G5                   C5           A5                  B5    A5  B5  A5  B5  A5  B5  A5  B5  A5  B5  A5  B5 
  I think that I've found out I don't wear scarlet well
