Intro: Am F | C Cmaj |
       Am F | C C Cmaj C

Am               F
Come on skinny love,
              C     Cmaj C
Just last the year,
Am              F
Pour a little salt,
              C     Cmaj
We were never here.
C      Am        F
My-my-my, my-my-my,
             C
My-my-my-my-my,
               Dm7  Dm9  Dm7
Staring at the sink of blood
              Am
And crushed veneer.

Am      F
Tell my love
            C    Cadd9 Em/B
To wreck it all,
Am              F
Cut out all the ropes
           C
And let me fall.
Em7/B   Am      F
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            C
My-my-my-my-my,
             Dm7    Dm9
Right in the moment
     Dm7      Am
This order’s tall.

Am/B   C
And I told you to be patient,
      Em7/B          Am
And I told you to be fine,
Am/B   C
And I told you to be balanced,
      Em7/B          Am
And I told you to be kind.

Am/B       C
And in the morning I’ll be with you,
            Em7/B          Am
But it will be a different kind.
 Am/B          C
‘Cause I’ll be holding all the tickets
              Em7/B          Am
And you’ll be owning all the fines.

Instrumental: Am Am Am Amadd11 | Am

Am             F
Come on skinny love,
              C     Cadd9 Em/B
What happened here?
Am            F
Suckle on the hope
            C
In lite brassiere.
Em7/B   Am      F
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            C
My-my-my-my-my,
       Dm7     Dm9
Sullen load is full,
Dm7            Am
So slow on the split.

Am/B   C
And I told you to be patient,
      Em7/B          Am
And I told you to be fine,
Am/B   C
And I told you to be balanced,
      Em7/B          Am
And I told you to be kind.

Am/B    C
And now all your love is wasted,
     Em7/B            Am
Then who the hell was I?
 Am/B          C
‘Cause now I’m breaking at the britches
           Em7/B            Am
And at the ends of all your lines.

Instrumental: Am Am Am Amadd11 | Am

 C
   Who will love you?
 Em7/B      Am     Amadd11
   Who will fight?
 C                  Em7/B   Am
   And who will fall far behind?

Instrumental: Am | Am

Am             F C Em7/B
Come on skinny love.

Instrumental: Am F | C C C Em7/B

Em7/B   Am      F
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            C
My-my-my-my-my,
Em7/B   Am      F
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            C   Gadd11/B
My-my-my-my-my.
