Verse 1:
     Dm                     G
Dear friend, I write to you swiftly
Dm                     G
With scarlet ink and a woe
  Dm
My note will be fleeting
    G
But promise while reading
   Dm               G
To hang on to every word

Verse 2:
Dm                G
All the days are forgetting
     Dm             G
They told me I was alone
Dm
But leafing through pages
     G
Does nothing for aged
 Dm                      G
Fingers that work to the bone

Chorus:
Dm          G
Through the archway
Cmaj7                 Am
Where the book spines fold
Dm                     G
They will show you the way

Verse 3:
Dm                     G
This study cramped and musty
  Dm                G
a coffin to call my abode
 Dm
Each cold glance I've earned
         G
Passing through me I've learned
Dm                                 G
Not to trust those that make it a home

Verse 4:
Dm                          G
I met a ghost that tended a garden
      Dm                          G
They showed me their most prized marrow
Dm
Tendons and teeth
         G
Amongst pale meadowsweet
 Dm                              G
Seeds of doubt are beginning to grow

Outro:
Dm           G
Through the archway
Cmaj7                  Am
Footprints cremated to smoke
Dm                     G       Cmaj7
They will show you the way
