Shooter Jennings
Black Ribbons- E Capo 1
Verse 1
[E]Broke down at the end of the night[C#m]
Can't seem to get an[A]ything right
[E]So numb I can't feel things anymore
[B]Somehow could feel me letting go
[A]I know there's [B]so many things
[E]That I need to do and I [C#m]need to say
[A]No matter how hard [E]I try
[B]I can't get the words out right
Chorus
[E]Man down, tie a ribbon around my soul
[C#m]I'm in the black [A]and I'm out of control
[B]Like a ship that's lost in the night
[A]With no direction[B] or guiding light
Man down and I'm drowning in the pain
Face down like a needle in the vein
You're the only thing that keeps me sane
But somehow I can't keep you out of my rain
[E]I see you standing in the rain [C#m] [A]
Verse 2
The lights in the city feel so bright
All these colors I've got inside
And in these streets I feel like a foreigner
All I paint is myself in a corner
Going on seems to hurt so much
All the world seems so cold to the touch
When I go to sleep I don't dream
I just see a blank television screen
Chorus
Verse 3
Tie a ribbon for the child in me
On every door and on every tree
Make it black for the way that I feel
'Cause black is the only color that's real
Chorus- Starting at the Second Stanza ( Man Down and I'm drowning in the Pain)
Outro ( Verse 1)
Broke down at the end of the night
Can't seem to get anything right
