Intro: Em C | G G |
       Em C | G G G G

Em               C
Come on skinny love,
              G
Just last the year,
Em              C
Pour a little salt,
              G
We were never here.
       Em        C
My-my-my, my-my-my,
             G
My-my-my-my-my,
               Am7
Staring at the sink of blood
              Em
And crushed veneer.

Em      C
Tell my love
            G          Bm
To wreck it all,
Em              C
Cut out all the ropes
           G
And let me fall.
Bm7     Em      C
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            G
My-my-my-my-my,
             Am7
Right in the moment
              Em
This order’s tall.

Em     G
And I told you to be patient,
      Bm7            Em
And I told you to be fine,
       G
And I told you to be balanced,
      Bm7            Em
And I told you to be kind.

Em         G
And in the morning I’ll be with you,
            Bm7            Em
But it will be a different kind.
               G
‘Cause I’ll be holding all the tickets
              Bm7            Em
And you’ll be owning all the fines.

Instrumental: Em Em Em Em | Em

Em             C
Come on skinny love,
              G           Bm
What happened here?
Em            C
Suckle on the hope
            G
In lite brassiere.
Bm7     Em      C
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            G
My-my-my-my-my,
       Am7
Sullen load is full,
               Em
So slow on the split.

Em     G
And I told you to be patient,
      Bm7            Em
And I told you to be fine,
       G
And I told you to be balanced,
      Bm7            Em
And I told you to be kind.

Em      G
And now all your love is wasted,
     Bm7              Em
Then who the hell was I?
               G
‘Cause now I’m breaking at the britches
           Bm7              Em
And at the ends of all your lines.

Instrumental: Em Em Em Em | Em

 G
   Who will love you?
 Bm7        Em
   Who will fight?
 G                  Bm7     Em
   And who will fall far behind?

Instrumental: Em | Em

Em             C G Bm7
Come on skinny love.

Instrumental: Em C | G G G Bm7

Bm7     Em      C
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            G
My-my-my-my-my,
Bm7     Em      C
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            G   D
My-my-my-my-my.
