Ribbon Bows by Joshua James


                           Ribbon Bows 


Capo:no capo

This is just how I play the chorus:
 
(F#m)      (D)         (A)            (E)
Was it really worth it all, to give up laughter in the hall?
 
 (F#m)     (D)                (A)             (E)                (F#m)
And did you cut your ribbon bows,  for the man, who seems to know?
 
       (D)                (A)             (E)               (F#m)
Did he promise did he say, that you'd be home again some day?
 
              (D)               (A)                    (E)
Cuz while the sun it finally sets. We'll find you drowning.
 
 

Pretty picture, your older sister
I will hide beneath my bed
But your broken mother about to cover
You don't show your face around these parts no more.
Was it really worth it, to give up laughter in the home
And did you cut your ribbon bows for the man,
The man that seems to know?
You let him use you,
You let him cut you down till your soul is darker than the wheel.
But I still love you, I still have the picture by my bed
And it greets me every morning.
Was it really worth it all to give up laughter in the home?
And did you cut the ribbon bows for the man,
The man that seems to know?
And did he promise, did he say
You'd be home again someday?
Cause while the sun it finally sets,
It finds you drowning.
You don't say, but those words hurt anyway.
To California to get your career well on its way.
Your burn out bright love,
Do you know it's part to give way
Of the start, of the start,
That you have sold for fame.
