Verse 1:
              D   Gbm
I'll take this red ribbon
E
Stitch my heart together
       E    Gbm     D
It will heal give it time
           D    Gbm
It beats a strange rhythm
   E
But I'll still go on living
      E    Gbm      D
When I don't get it right

Pre-chorus:
 D                             E
Don't beat myself about the things that didn't work out
Gbm                     D
Least I can say is that I tried
 D
I'll take this red ribbon
E             D           E
Stitch my heart together and I know I'll be fine

Chorus:
A       Bm       Gbm
Remember all of the pain, was it all too much?
                  E          A
Remember falling apart every time we touch
                 Bm          Gbm
Remember going insane but I'll never give up
                                  E
a heart that's been broken is a heart that's been loved
  D               E
Red red ribbon, ribbon red red
 Gbm                D
Red red, red red ribbon, ribbon red red, red red

Verse 2:
 E
I'll take this lead pencil

Make a different picture
          Gbm      D
And I'll draw in a smile
           D
I'll take these sharp scissors
      E
Cut a new heart out of paper
       Gbm           D
You know I'll make it mine

Least I can say is that I tried

I'll take this red ribbon

Lie it on the pavement and I won't cross that line

Bridge:
     D
I've got stitches and scars

Got miles of string running under my skin
                E                 D
I've got so much to give so I'll give it again and again and again
