Behind The Crimson Door

[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) → [Em]
[Em]                           [G]
Set the darkest thoughts on fire
         [C]            [G]                 [F]
And watched the ashes climb to heaven’s gates
(up to [G], then chorus)

[Chorus]
[Am]         [C]              [G]
We hide behind the crimson door
           [Em]                   [Am]
While the summer’s 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) → [Em]
[Em]                          [G]
And intoxicated angels with sorrow
        [C]                  [G]             [F]
As they witnessed in the eyes of their slaves
(up to [G], then chorus)

[Chorus]
[Am]      [C]                  [G]
We hide behind the crimson door
          [Em]                    [Am]
While the summer’s 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

[Outro]
[Am]
We hide behind the crimson door
