Lyrics and Music by Justin Vernon

Intro: Bm G | D Dmaj |
       Bm G | D D Dmaj D

Bm               G
Come on skinny love,
              D     Dmaj D
Just last the year,
Bm              G
Pour a little salt,
              D     Dmaj
We were never here.
D      Bm        G
My-my-my, my-my-my,
             D
My-my-my-my-my,
               Em7  Em9  Em7
Staring at the sink of blood
              Bm
And crushed veneer.

Bm      G
Tell my love
            D    Dadd9 F#m/C#
To wreck it all,
Bm              G
Cut out all the ropes
           D
And let me fall.
F#m7/C# Bm      G
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            D
My-my-my-my-my,
             Em7    Em9
Right in the moment
     Em7      Bm
This order’s tall.

Bm/C#  D
And I told you to be patient,
      F#m7/C#        Bm
And I told you to be fine,
Bm/C#  D
And I told you to be balanced,
      F#m7/C#        Bm
And I told you to be kind.

Bm/C#      D
And in the morning I’ll be with you,
            F#m7/C#        Bm
But it will be a different kind.
 Bm/C#         D
‘Cause I’ll be holding all the tickets
              F#m7/C#        Bm
And you’ll be owning all the fines.

Instrumental: Bm Bm Bm Bmadd11 | Bm

Bm             G
Come on skinny love,
              D     Dadd9 F#m/C#
What happened here?
Bm            G
Suckle on the hope
            D
In lite brassiere.
F#m7/C# Bm      G
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            D
My-my-my-my-my,
       Em7     Em9
Sullen load is full,
Em7            Bm
So slow on the split.

Bm/C#  D
And I told you to be patient,
      F#m7/C#        Bm
And I told you to be fine,
Bm/C#  D
And I told you to be balanced,
      F#m7/C#        Bm
And I told you to be kind.

Bm/C#   D
And now all your love is wasted,
     F#m7/C#          Bm
Then who the hell was I?
 Bm/C#         D
‘Cause now I’m breaking at the britches
           F#m7/C#          Bm
And at the ends of all your lines.

Instrumental: Bm Bm Bm Bmadd11 | Bm

 D
   Who will love you?
 F#m7/C#    Bm     Bmadd11
   Who will fight?
 D                  F#m7/C# Bm
   And who will fall far behind?

Instrumental: Bm | Bm

Bm             G D F#m7/C#
Come on skinny love.

Instrumental: Bm G | D D D F#m7/C#

F#m7/C# Bm      G
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            D
My-my-my-my-my,
F#m7/C# Bm      G
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            D   Aadd11/C#
My-my-my-my-my.
