Until the Ribbon Breaks is a British band consisting of the frontman Pete Lawrie-Winfield (lead vox, keys, programming, percussion, brass and guitar), James Gordon (keys, percussion, programming, backing vocals, bass) and Elliot Wall (drums, programming, backing vocals). Sometimes referred to as UTRB, the band was founded in Cardiff, Britain in 2012 initially as Winfield's solo project and "blends genres like electronic, pop, rock, and hip-hop, but it’s all done with a sharp alternative edge."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Until the Ribbon Breaks - Until the Ribbon Breaks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Stephen Funk E-mail: [email protected]
The first bit of this tab is just the chords. I tabbed out a couple of the riffs at the end. The chord endings in parenthesis are optional add-ons based on what the harp is doing in the background. The "(x2)" bit in the middle indicates where the chords are to be played for twice the usual duration (four beats instead of two). I primarily used the sub bass for the chords' roots, but looked at every instrument for the complete chord.
Any of the Em chords may be played as C/E. It is sort of ambiguous.
Tuning: Standard
Chords:
FEmFmaj7C
F(9)Em I dreamed that I, had lost you F(maj7)C I woke up, with a tear
FEm I think you left it on, my pillow case Dm The last time you were here
FEm And we came from nowhere; we came from nothing FC And we could go back there, if that's what it takes
F But I made a promise Em That I'd try to keep you Dm Until the ribbon breaks Dm Until the ribbon breaks
[A couple of bars of eerie noises]
FEm I wonder why, I came home FC More red letters, through my door FEm Oh but you just came from nowhere Dm We've been sleeping on the floor Dm I don't feel homesick anymore
[Double time on those chords for the instrumental bridge... 2 beats per chord change] Fmaj7 C Dm Dm <--- Angel choir pad Fmaj7 C Dm Dm <--- Bells come in here Fmaj7CDmDm Fmaj7CDmDm Fmaj7AmGG DmDmDmDm
FCDmDm So who am I to cheat time? FC I've been trying to gauge the ending DmDm And you'll do just fine FAm So use me, taped and broken, GG Like your favorite old tape DmDm We could just play out through the summer, DmDm Until the ribbon breaks
FCDmDm So who am I to cheat time? FC I've been trying to gauge the ending DmDm And you'll do just fine FAm So use me, taped and broken, GG Like your favorite old tape DmDm We could just play out through the summer, DmDm Until the ribbon breaks
