C/G   D            Em
      My hands are tied
          G                         C/G
      And someone gotta come set me free
C/G          D      Em
      I been lonely inside
              G                C/G
      Because no one ever gets underneath


[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Ooh, whenever you pull me close
Em                   D
My walls are too high
Am
So I always end up alone
Em              D
As hard as I try


[Chorus]
                C/G       D      Em
That's why they call it a ribcage
               G           C/G
To lock all of my feelings up
                C/G         D      Em
To make sure my heart never escapes
     D
I'll never be the same if it does
      C/G  D      Em
Oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh, oh
     G                       C/G
I'll never be the same if it does


[Verse 2]
C/G      D            Em
      My lips on your skin
        G                              C/G
      I know you're tryna hide all the scars
C/G             D           Em
      From when you trusted him
             G                             C/G
      But he left you feeling broke in the dark


[Pre-Chorus]
       Am
Yeaah, whenever I pull you close
Em                     D
Your walls are too high
Am
So I always end up alone
Em              D
As hard as I try


[Chorus]
                      C/G       D      Em
Well, that's why they call it a ribcage
               G           C/G
To lock all of my feelings up
                C/G         D      Em
To make sure my heart never escapes
     D
I'll never be the same if it does
                C/G       D      Em
That's why they call it a ribcage
     G                    C/G
To keep me away from your touch
                C/G         D      Em
To make sure my heart never escapes
     D
I'll never be the same if it does
       C/G  D      Em  G     C/G
Woh-oh-ooh, oh-oh, oh (yeah, yeh-eh)


[Bridge]
Am
I never let anybody get too close to me
Em                    D
You never let anybody see inside
Am
'Cause if we let anybody get a hold
Em                 D
Then our love runs wild


[Chorus]
                C/G       D      Em
That's why they call it a ribcage
        G                   C/G
To lock all of our feelings up
                 C/G         D      Em
To make sure the heart never escapes
     D
I'll never be the same if it does

                C/G       D      Em
That's why they call it a ribcage
        G                   C/G
To lock all of our feelings up
                 C/G         D      Em
To make sure the heart never escapes
     D
I'll never be the same if it does
      C/G  D      Em  G   C/G
Oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh, oh, yeah
