Lyrics and Music by Justin Vernon

Intro: Gm D# | Bb Bbmaj |
       Gm D# | Bb Bb Bbmaj Bb

Gm               D#
Come on skinny love,
              Bb    Bbmaj Bb
Just last the year,
Gm              D#
Pour a little salt,
              Bb    Bbmaj
We were never here.
Bb     Gm        D#
My-my-my, my-my-my,
             Bb
My-my-my-my-my,
               Cm7  Cm9  Cm7
Staring at the sink of blood
              Gm
And crushed veneer.

Gm      D#
Tell my love
            Bb   Bbadd9 Dm/A
To wreck it all,
Gm              D#
Cut out all the ropes
           Bb
And let me fall.
Dm7/A   Gm      D#
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            Bb
My-my-my-my-my,
             Cm7    Cm9
Right in the moment
     Cm7      Gm
This order’s tall.

Gm/A   Bb
And I told you to be patient,
      Dm7/A          Gm
And I told you to be fine,
Gm/A   Bb
And I told you to be balanced,
      Dm7/A          Gm
And I told you to be kind.

Gm/A       Bb
And in the morning I’ll be with you,
            Dm7/A          Gm
But it will be a different kind.
 Gm/A          Bb
‘Cause I’ll be holding all the tickets
              Dm7/A          Gm
And you’ll be owning all the fines.

Instrumental: Gm Gm Gm Gmadd11 | Gm

Gm             D#
Come on skinny love,
              Bb    Bbadd9 Dm/A
What happened here?
Gm            D#
Suckle on the hope
            Bb
In lite brassiere.
Dm7/A   Gm      D#
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            Bb
My-my-my-my-my,
       Cm7     Cm9
Sullen load is full,
Cm7            Gm
So slow on the split.

Gm/A   Bb
And I told you to be patient,
      Dm7/A          Gm
And I told you to be fine,
Gm/A   Bb
And I told you to be balanced,
      Dm7/A          Gm
And I told you to be kind.

Gm/A    Bb
And now all your love is wasted,
     Dm7/A            Gm
Then who the hell was I?
 Gm/A          Bb
‘Cause now I’m breaking at the britches
           Dm7/A            Gm
And at the ends of all your lines.

Instrumental: Gm Gm Gm Gmadd11 | Gm

 Bb
   Who will love you?
 Dm7/A      Gm     Gmadd11
   Who will fight?
 Bb                 Dm7/A   Gm
   And who will fall far behind?

Instrumental: Gm | Gm

Gm             D# Bb Dm7/A

Instrumental: Gm D# | Bb Bb Bb Dm7/A

Dm7/A   Gm      D#
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            Bb
My-my-my-my-my,
Dm7/A   Gm      D#
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            Bb  Fadd11/A
My-my-my-my-my.
