Lyrics and Music by Justin Vernon

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

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

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

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

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

Instrumental: Gm Gm Gm Gm | Gm

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

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

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

Instrumental: Gm Gm Gm Gm | Gm

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