I Split My Ribs Open

Gm G# Fm
Gm G# Fm


[Verse 1]
       Gm              G#           Fm
You go on and on and on and on and on

About your plight
          Gm            G#
Tell me, will you be alright?
         Fm
Tell me if you'll be alright
       Gm              G#
You go on and on and on and on and on
   Fm
As if I didn't care
      Gm                 G#
And I wish I could be there
       Fm
God, I wish I could be there for you


[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Gm          G#             Fm
Stay back, come back, make up your mind
Gm            G#                     Fm
'Cause I can feel it gettin' imminent
Gm     G#          Fm
I know you feel a bit resigned
Gm          G#
And I have never been articulate
Fm                Gm     G#   Fm
So say, are you safe?
           Gm G# Fm              Gm G# Fm
Are you safe?        Are you safe?
           Gm G# Fm              Gm G# Fm
Are you safe?        Are you safe?


[Verse 2]
Gm                      G#
Tryin' on my slip-on disguise
                     Fm
I'm wondering which wire I done tripped on this time
               Gm                                G#
Stuttering in every language I have ever learned
                        Fm
And I'm usually hella good at feeling very unconcerned
                             Gm
But there's something in my eye
                             G#
Or it's something from the sky
                   Fm
Oh fuck it, I'm crying, now here's a bunch of reasons why
                     Gm                             G#
And maybe I should focus on the one that's most ferocious
                 Fm
I split my ribs open, ain't nobody even notice
                   Gm
Look at all this blood
                                    G#
This whole damn kitchen's about to flood
            Fm
Afraid to dirty up your hospital scrubs or fuck up your buzz
          Gm                           G#
When I'm gone don't pretend like you didn't know what it was
     Fm
And nah, I don't mean when I die
                Gm                      G#
I mean when I leave without saying goodbye
                                Fm
'Cause I'm offended that I'm hurting and your care is denied
                           Gm
You just gon' stare at the sky?
                               G#
Alright, bet, I'ma bear it in mind
             Fm
But when it hurts, don't compare it to mine


[Chorus]
Gm          G#             Fm
Stay back, come back, make up your mind
Gm            G#                     Fm
'Cause I can feel it gettin' imminent
Gm     G#          Fm
I know you feel a bit resigned
Gm          G#
And I have never been articulate
Fm                Gm     G#   Fm
So say, are you safe?
           Gm G# Fm              Gm G# Fm
Are you safe?        Are you safe?
           Gm G# Fm              Gm G# Fm
Are you safe?        Are you safe?
