Ribcage Mary Lambert
Living in the da[Am]rkness
[G]I wear it like a crown
[Am]Oh I've got tough skin
[G]Ready for my bow
[Am]All I've got is two hands
[G]I tied them in the middle
[Am]Ready for the red tape
[F]Open up my ribcage
[Am]I offer souvenirs
[C]A deaf tongue and blinded ears
[Em]Can you fill the shelves in here
[F]Come in, come in
[F]Every[C]body look aro[Am]und[C]
[F]Every[C]body look aro[Am]und[C]
[F]I don't know [C]how to fill the [Am]space[C]
The [G]invitations on the pag[Em]e
Open up my ribcage
[Am]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
[Dm]Daughter sees him like that smoke in my lungs
[Am]What they project on me what I've become
Down on my knees, unsure what to say
No I never learned how to pray
[Am]Don't know know who I've been fooling
but you've got me r[C]unning in circles I'm ruined
Let you [Em]inside, opened up all my wounds
Taken my [F]ribcage and ripped it in two
[F]Every[C]body look aro[Am]und[C]
[F]Every[C]body look aro[Am]und[C]
[F]I don't know [C]how to fill the [Am]space[C]
The [G]invitations on the pag[Em]e
Open up my ribcage
[Am]Tie it from my tendons
[G]Watch how they stretch
[Am]Oh I've got the muscle
[G]Lord I'm spent
[Am]Knocking down my sternum
[G]Again, at a young age
[Am]Too much space between
[F]Open up my ribcage
[Am]I offer souvenirs
[C]A deaf tongue and blinded ears
[Em]Can you fill the shelves in here
[F]Come in, come in
[F]Every[C]body look aro[Am]und[C]
[F]Every[C]body look aro[Am]und[C]
[F]I don't know [C]how to fill the [Am]space[C]
The [G]invitations on the pag[Em]e
Open up my ribcage
[Am]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
[Dm]You see I opened up my ribcage and violins flew out
[Am]The organs softly played through my violin mouth
[Dm]I got lights hotter than love hidden beneath my tongue
[Am]Written on my skin
Tells me your the one
[F]Every[C]body look aro[Am]und[C]
[F]Every[C]body look aro[Am]und[C]
[F]I don't know [C]how to fill the [Am]space[C]
The [G]invitations on the pag[Em]e
Open up my ribcage
Open up my ribcage
Open up my ribcage
Open up my ribcage
