Ribs

Intro: 
Gm Dm Eb (x2) 


[Verso 1]
 
    Gm           Dm  F 
Can I hold your love between my ribs 
          Eb       Dm                F 
While you weigh me down to something thin? 
     Gm         Dm    F 
When I get back up,   feeble and frail 
     Eb          Dm              F 
Then I won't see you as the same again 
N.C. 
You were oh so quiet when I needed you 
N.C. 
Was clamoring for something true 
 


[Refrão]
 
    Gm     Dm            Eb 
Now I,     if I close my eyes, I can feel you 
Gm          Dm             Eb              F 
Vanish into blinding light to what I can't recognize 
    Gm Dm              Eb 
Now I  splinter and divide, but go on breathing 
Gm             Dm          Eb               Cm 
Leave me to my own device, time was all I'd need to see it 
 


[Verso 2]
 
Gm        Dm   F 
Before I quit, I got to vent 
        Eb           Dm              F 
But the sorrow draws lines across my chest 
     Gm         Dm 
Ooh, pale in my lips, 
    F 
My chin's so high, it broke my neck 
     Eb         Dm             F 
And I can nver see you as the same again 
N.C. 
I ignor the chatter of my mind, I sink into the scene to hide 
N.C. 
All the color is a mess, is there a means? Is there an end to this? 
 


[Refrão]
 
    Gm     Dm            Eb 
Oh, I,     if I close my eyes, I can feel you 
Gm          Dm             Eb              F 
Vanish into blinding light to what I can't recognize 
    Gm Dm              Eb 
Now I  splinter and divide, but go on breathing 
Gm             Dm          Eb               Cm 
Leave me to my own device, time was all I'd need to see it 
 


[Ponte]
 
Eb                                 Gm 
      You drift further by the day 
Eb                                         F 
      You took a twist of a memory that we made 
Eb Cm     Dm   Gm 
   Ribbed with loneliness and shame 
Eb Cm Dm F 
      All to my own dismay 
 


[Refrão]
 
N.C. 
I,     if I close my eyes, I can feel you 
Gm          Dm             Eb              F 
Vanish into blinding light to what I can't recognize 
    Gm Dm              Eb 
Now I  splinter and divide, but go on breathing 
Gm             Dm          Eb               Cm 
Leave me to my own device, time was all I'd need to see it
