Intro: Dm Bb | F Fmaj |
       Dm Bb | F F Fmaj F

Dm               Bb
Come on skinny love,
              F     Fmaj F
Just last the year,
Dm              Bb
Pour a little salt,
              F     Fmaj
We were never here.
F      Dm        Bb
My-my-my, my-my-my,
             F
My-my-my-my-my,
               Gm7  Gm9  Gm7
Staring at the sink of blood
              Dm
And crushed veneer.

Dm      Bb
Tell my love
            F    Fadd9 Am/E
To wreck it all,
Dm              Bb
Cut out all the ropes
           F
And let me fall.
Am7/E   Dm      Bb
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            F
My-my-my-my-my,
             Gm7    Gm9
Right in the moment
     Gm7      Dm
This order’s tall.

Dm/E   F
And I told you to be patient,
      Am7/E          Dm
And I told you to be fine,
Dm/E   F
And I told you to be balanced,
      Am7/E          Dm
And I told you to be kind.

Dm/E       F
And in the morning I’ll be with you,
            Am7/E          Dm
But it will be a different kind.
 Dm/E          F
‘Cause I’ll be holding all the tickets
              Am7/E          Dm
And you’ll be owning all the fines.

Instrumental: Dm Dm Dm Dmadd11 | Dm

Dm             Bb
Come on skinny love,
              F     Fadd9 Am/E
What happened here?
Dm            Bb
Suckle on the hope
            F
In lite brassiere.
Am7/E   Dm      Bb
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            F
My-my-my-my-my,
       Gm7     Gm9
Sullen load is full,
Gm7            Dm
So slow on the split.

Dm/E   F
And I told you to be patient,
      Am7/E          Dm
And I told you to be fine,
Dm/E   F
And I told you to be balanced,
      Am7/E          Dm
And I told you to be kind.

Dm/E    F
And now all your love is wasted,
     Am7/E            Dm
Then who the hell was I?
 Dm/E          F
‘Cause now I’m breaking at the britches
           Am7/E            Dm
And at the ends of all your lines.

Instrumental: Dm Dm Dm Dmadd11 | Dm

 F
   Who will love you?
 Am7/E      Dm     Dmadd11
   Who will fight?
 F                  Am7/E   Dm
   And who will fall far behind?

Instrumental: Dm | Dm

Dm             Bb F Am7/E
Come on skinny love.

Instrumental: Dm Bb | F F F Am7/E

Am7/E   Dm      Bb
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            F
My-my-my-my-my,
Am7/E   Dm      Bb
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            F   Cadd11/E
My-my-my-my-my.
