Intro: D#m B | F# F#maj |
       D#m B | F# F# F#maj F#

D#m              B
Come on skinny love,
              F#    F#maj F#
Just last the year,
D#m             B
Pour a little salt,
              F#    F#maj
We were never here.
F#     D#m       B
My-my-my, my-my-my,
             F#
My-my-my-my-my,
               G#m7          
Staring at the sink of blood
              D#m
And crushed veneer.

D#m     B
Tell my love
            F#   F#add9 Bbm  
To wreck it all,
D#m             B
Cut out all the ropes
           F#
And let me fall.
Bbm7    D#m     B
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            F#
My-my-my-my-my,
             G#m7       
Right in the moment
              D#m
This order’s tall.

D#m    F#
And I told you to be patient,
      Bbm7           D#m
And I told you to be fine,
       F#
And I told you to be balanced,
      Bbm7           D#m
And I told you to be kind.

D#m        F#
And in the morning I’ll be with you,
            Bbm7           D#m
But it will be a different kind.
               F#
‘Cause I’ll be holding all the tickets
              Bbm7           D#m
And you’ll be owning all the fines.

Instrumental: D#m D#m D#m D#madd11 | D#m

D#m            B
Come on skinny love,
              F#    F#add9 Bbm  
What happened here?
D#m           B
Suckle on the hope
            F#
In lite brassiere.
Bbm7    D#m     B
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            F#
My-my-my-my-my,
       G#m7        
Sullen load is full,
               D#m
So slow on the split.

D#m    F#
And I told you to be patient,
      Bbm7           D#m
And I told you to be fine,
       F#
And I told you to be balanced,
      Bbm7           D#m
And I told you to be kind.

D#m     F#
And now all your love is wasted,
     Bbm7             D#m
Then who the hell was I?
               F#
‘Cause now I’m breaking at the britches
           Bbm7             D#m
And at the ends of all your lines.

Instrumental: D#m D#m D#m D#madd11 | D#m

 F#
   Who will love you?
 Bbm7       D#m    D#madd11
   Who will fight?
 F#                 Bbm7    D#m
   And who will fall far behind?

Instrumental: D#m | D#m

D#m            B F# Bbm7  
Come on skinny love.

Instrumental: D#m B | F# F# F# Bbm7

Bbm7    D#m     B
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            F#
My-my-my-my-my,
Bbm7    D#m     B
My-my-my, my-my-my,
            F#  C#add11  
My-my-my-my-my.
