Lyrics and Music by Justin Vernon

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

Em               C
Come on skinny love,
              G     Gmaj G
Just last the year,
Em              C
Pour a little salt,
              G     Gmaj
We were never here.
G      Em        C
My-my-my, my-my-my,
             G
My-my-my-my-my,
               Am7  Am9  Am7
Staring at the sink of blood
              Em
And crushed veneer.

Em      C
Tell my love
            G    Gadd9 Bm/F#
To wreck it all,
Em              C
Cut out all the ropes
           G
And let me fall.
Bm7/F#  Em      C
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            G
My-my-my-my-my,
             Am7    Am9
Right in the moment
     Am7      Em
This order’s tall.

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

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

Instrumental: Em Em Em Emadd11 | Em

Em             C
Come on skinny love,
              G     Gadd9 Bm/F#
What happened here?
Em            C
Suckle on the hope
            G
In lite brassiere.
Bm7/F#  Em      C
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            G
My-my-my-my-my,
       Am7     Am9
Sullen load is full,
Am7            Em
So slow on the split.

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

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

Instrumental: Em Em Em Emadd11 | Em

 G
   Who will love you?
 Bm7/F#     Em     Emadd11
   Who will fight?
 G                  Bm7/F#  Em
   And who will fall far behind?

Instrumental: Em | Em

Em             C G Bm7/F#
Come on skinny love.

Instrumental: Em C | G G G Bm7/F#

Bm7/F#  Em      C
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            G
My-my-my-my-my,
Bm7/F#  Em      C
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            G   Dadd11/F#
My-my-my-my-my.
