Ribcage Mary Lambert
Lyrics and guitar chords
Am
Living in the darknessG
I wear it like a crownAm
Oh I've got tough skinG
Ready for my bowAm
All I've got is two handsG
I tied them in the middleAm
Ready for the red tapeF
Open up my ribcageAm
I offer souvenirsC
A deaf tongue and blinded earsEm
Can you fill the shelves in hereF
Come in, come inF
EveryC
body look aroAm
und C

EveryC

und C
F
I don't know C
how to fill the Am
space C
The
G
invitations on the pagEm
e Open up my ribcage
Am
I want you want to want me like I'm all you gotMama 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 lungsAm
What they project on me what I've becomeDown on my knees, unsure what to say
No I never learned how to pray
Am
Don't know know who I've been foolingbut you've got me r
C
unning in circles I'm ruinedLet you
Em
inside, opened up all my woundsTaken my
F
ribcage and ripped it in twoF
EveryC

The
G
invitations on the pagEm
e Open up my ribcage
Am
Tie it from my tendonsG
Watch how they stretchAm
Oh I've got the muscleG
Lord I'm spentAm
Knocking down my sternumG
Again, at a young ageAm
Too much space betweenF
Open up my ribcageAm
I offer souvenirsC
A deaf tongue and blinded earsEm
Can you fill the shelves in hereF
Come in, come inF

Am
There's impenetrable silence inside of my headThere'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 outAm
The organs softly played through my violin mouthDm
I got lights hotter than love hidden beneath my tongueAm
Written on my skinTells me your the one

Open up my ribcage
Open up my ribcage
Open up my ribcage
