[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


[Pre-Chorus]
F#m                                 E
  Don't beat myself about the things that didn't work out
F#m                         D
  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


[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                             F#m
A heart that's been broken is a heart that's been loved
D                      E        F#m      D                      E
Red red ribbon, ribbon red red, red red, red red ribbon, ribbon red red, red red
                    F#m                           E
A heart that's been broken is a heart that's been loved
F#m                    E        D        F#m                    E        D
Red red ribbon, ribbon red red, red red, red red ribbon, ribbon red red, red red


[Bridge]
     D
I've got stitches and scars
     E  A*
I've got yards of yarn
       D     Bm*  F#m*
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

E                F#m
  I'll take this red ribbon
                                            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   Bm F#m
A heart that's been broken is a heart that's been loved


[Outro]
                                     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
                                    E             F#m
Red red ribbon, ribbon red red, red red, red red ribbon, ribbon red red, red red
