               Until the Ribbon Breaks - Band Name

Tabbed by: Stephen Funk

The first bit of this tab is just the chords. I tabbed out a couple of the riffs at the end. The chord endings
in parenthesis are optional add-ons based on what the harp is doing in the background. The "(x2)" bit in the
middle indicates where the chords are to be played for twice the usual duration (four beats instead of two).
I primarily used the sub bass for the chords' roots, but looked at every instrument for the complete chord.

Tuning: Standard

Chords:

FF E minorEm Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC

FF       E minorEm
I dreamed that I, had lost you
F(maj7)  C majorC
I woke up, with a tear

FF            E minorEm
I think you left it on, my pillow case
DmDm
The last time you were here

FF             E minorEm
And we came from nowhere; we came from nothing
FF              C majorC
And we could go back there, if that's what it takes

FF
But I made a promise
E minorEm
That I'd try to keep you
DmDm
Until the ribbon breaks
DmDm
Until the ribbon breaks

[A augmentedA couple of bars of eerie noises]

FF       E minorEm
I wonder why, I came home
FF        C majorC
More red letters, through my door
FF          E minorEm
Oh but you just came from nowhere
DmDm
We've been sleeping on the floor
DmDm
I don't feel homesick anymore
