Lyrics and Music by Justin Vernon

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

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

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

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

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

Instrumental: Bm Bm Bm Bm | Bm

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

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

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

Instrumental: Bm Bm Bm Bm | Bm

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

Instrumental: Bm | Bm

Bm             G D F#m7
Come on skinny love.

Instrumental: Bm G | D D D F#m7

F#m7    Bm      G
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            D
My-my-my-my-my,
F#m7    Bm      G
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            D   A
My-my-my-my-my.
