What are you supposed to do Gsave me now
From all of this danger you dAmon't know how
And I'll find my way Fout
When I'm iCn the red
Listening to strangers iGnside my head
The darkening angels beAmneath the bed
F(hold)
I still see everything you said
Crimson in red
C-G-Am- F2x
Verse 2: C-G-Am-F  
I shake and I smile
Cause you said
Baby girl, it may take a while, but take the good from the bad
And never minds are never sure, so never leave them wanting more
What are you waiting for
How you love is who you are
Refrain 2: Am-G-F  
I dive in and I sink in
And I find new colors to think in
Chorus: C-G-Am-F  
I'm fading in and out
What are you supposed to do save me know
From all of this danger you don't know how
And I'll find my way out
When I'm in the red
Listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed
I still see everything you said
Crimson in red
Bridge: Am-G-C-F  
In the distance is a line defining where I've been
Rhe state I'm in
And ever since it began to slip from my two hands I've been
Taunting fires, touching wires, been believing liars
Everything they said
Painted in red
Painted in red
Painted in red
Chorus: C-G-Am-F  
I am fading in and out
What are you gonna do save me know
From all of this danger you don't know how
I'll find my way out
When I'm in the red
Listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed
I still see what you said
C-G-Am-F  
What are you gonna do
No way for you to save me
What are you gonna do
Everything that you gave me
Is painted in red
