Ribcage chords by Mary Lambert

Chords with lyrics

A minorAm
Living in the darkness
G+G
I wear it like a crown
A minorAm
Oh I've got tough skin
G+G
Ready for my bow
A minorAm
All I've got is two hands
G+G
I tied them in the middle
A minorAm
Ready for the red tape
FF
Open up my ribcage

A minorAm
I offer souvenirs
C majorC
A augmentedA deaf tongue and blinded ears
E minorEm
Can you fill the shelves in here
FF
Come in, come in

FF  C majorC      A minorAm   C majorC
Everybody look around
FF  C majorC      A minorAm   C majorC
Everybody look around
FF      C majorC        A minorAm   C majorC
I don't know how to fill the space
  G+G           E minorEm
The invitations on the page
Open up my ribcage

A minorAm
I want you want to want me like I'm all you got
Mama she see it but can't make me stop
Telling the truth it might mean you keep poking but that didn't hurt
That's my method of coping
DmDm
Daughter sees him like that smoke in my lungs
A minorAm
What they project on me what I've become
Down on my knees, unsure what to say
No I never learned how to pray

A minorAm
Don't know know who I've been fooling
          C majorC
but you've got me running in circles I'm ruined
    E minorEm
Let you inside, opened up all my wounds
     FF
Taken my ribcage and ripped it in two

FF  C majorC      A minorAm   C majorC
Everybody look around
FF  C majorC      A minorAm   C majorC
Everybody look around
FF      C majorC        A minorAm   C majorC
I don't know how to fill the space
  G+G           E minorEm
The invitations on the page
Open up my ribcage

A minorAm
Tie it from my tendons
G+G
Watch how they stretch
A minorAm
Oh I've got the muscle
G+G
Lord I'm spent
A minorAm
Knocking down my sternum
G+G
Again, at a young age
A minorAm
Too much space between
FF
Open up my ribcage


A minorAm
I offer souvenirs
C majorC
A augmentedA deaf tongue and blinded ears
E minorEm
Can you fill the shelves in here
FF
Come in, come in


FF  C majorC      A minorAm   C majorC
Everybody look around
FF  C majorC      A minorAm   C majorC
Everybody look around
FF      C majorC        A minorAm   C majorC
I don't know how to fill the space
  G+G           E minorEm
The invitations on the page
Open up my ribcage


A minorAm
There's impenetrable silence inside of my head
There's nothing I can buy when I'm practically dead
I get so tired of writing everything I should have said
That maybe this time I'll put my pen down and just tell you instead
DmDm
You see I opened up my ribcage and violins flew out
A minorAm
The organs softly played through my violin mouth
DmDm
I got lights hotter than love hidden beneath my tongue
A minorAm
Written on my skin
Tells me your the one

FF  C majorC      A minorAm   C majorC
Everybody look around
FF  C majorC      A minorAm   C majorC
Everybody look around
FF      C majorC        A minorAm   C majorC
I don't know how to fill the space
  G+G           E minorEm
The invitations on the page
Open up my ribcage

Open up my ribcage
Open up my ribcage
