Verse 1

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

Pre-Chorus

D*                                  E*
  Don't beat myself about the things that didn't work out
F#m*                        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                   F#m
Remember all of the pain, was it all too much?
                  E                  A
Remember falling apart every time we touch
                 Bm                       F#m*
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
         F#m                    D
Red red, red red ribbon, ribbon red red, red red

Verse 2

               F#m
I'll take this lead pencil
Make a different picture
          F#m      D
And I'll draw in a smile
                D*
I'll take these sharp scissors
      E*
Cut a new heart out of paper
    F#m*              E*
You know I'll make it mine

  Least I can say is that I tried
                 F#m
I'll take this red ribbon
E*                           F#m*
Lie it on the pavement and I won't cross that line
