Scarlet Tab

by Brooke Fraser


Intro:       
          x4

Verse one:

              
Middle of no-where
           
Finally you can breathe
                   
Nobody knows your name
        
It's easier
                  
Shut your eyes tightly
                         
Clench your fists 'til they almost bleed
               
Cautiously, lightly
                  
Gently expose what's underneath

//Chorus//:
              
And all you feel now
                   
Is the scarlet in the day
             
Even if it's real
                   
You can't stay
                                  
So, there you go, you're gone for good
                              
So, there you go, you're gone for good

   x2

Verse two:

                 
Your mind is swollen
                        
From months of thought without release
                             
They've taken their toll on you
             
This very moment  
                           
Of timid and fragile honesty
                           
Is precious and rare and fleeting

//Chorus//:
              
And all you feel now
                   
Is the scarlet in the day
                 
And even if it's real
                   
You can't stay
                                  
So, there you go, you're gone for good
                         
There you go, you're gone for good

                
Oh_____oh___oh___

        

      
There you go
                     
You're gone for good
     
There you go
                      
You're gone for good
