Intro: E5 C5 G5 G5 x 4

E5              C5                   G5          G5
Come on skinny love just last the year
E5              C5                   G5          G5
Pour a little salt we were never here
        E5           C5         G5       
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
                A5                       E5
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

E5           C5              G5        G5
  I tell my love to wreck it all
E5               C5               G5        G5
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
         E5          C5        G5       
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
              A5                 E5
Right in the moment this order's tall


G5
I told you to be patient
  E5           C5
I told you to be fine
G5
I told you to be balanced
   E5           C5
I told you to be kind
G5
In the morning I'll be with you
       E5                  C5
But it will be a different "kind"
G5
I'll be holding all the tickets
              E5            C5
And you'll be owning all the fines

E5             C5                   G5         G5
Come on skinny love what happened here
E5             C5                   G5         G5
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
        E5           C5         G5
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
       A5                        E5
Sullen load is full; slow on the split
G5
I told you to be patient
       E5       C5
I told you to be fine
G5
I told you to be balanced
       E5       C5
I told you to be kind
G5
Now all your love is wasted?
        E5         C5
Then who the hell was I?
G5
Now I'm breaking at the britches
           E5              C5
And at the end of all your lines

G5
  Who will love you?
E5         C5
  Who will fight?
G5
  Who will fall
E5       C5
  far behind?

G5
  Who will love you?
E5         C5
  Who will fight?
G5
  Who will fall
E5        C5
  far behind?
