(verse 1)
Em G
covered the carcass of time with flowers
C G F
to send the scent of blame to the grave
G fast, then Em
Em G
set the darkest thoughts on fire
C G F
and watched the ashes climb to heavens gates
Am C G
we hide behind the crimson door
Em Am
while the summers killed by the fall
Am C G
alive behind the crimson door
Em
while the winter sings
F G Am
your love will be the death of me
(verse 2)
Em G
Death served wine for lovers
C G F
Brought up from the world where devils reign
G fast, then Em
Em G
And intoxicated angels with sorrow
C G F
As they witnessed in the eyes of their slaves
Am C G
we hide behind the crimson door
Em Am
while the summers killed by the fall
Am C G
alive behind the crimson door
Em
while the winter sings
F G Am
your love will be the death of me
Am
We hide behind the crimson door
