[Verse 1]
Am              C
Come on skinny love, just last the year
Am             C
Pour a little salt, we were never here
        Am          C
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
               D6sus2                       Am    Fmaj7/C
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
 
[Verse 2]
Am        C
I tell my love to wreck it all
Am              C
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
        Am          C
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
              D6sus2                   Am
Right in this moment this order's tall
 
[Chorus]
      C
And I told you to be patient
      C/B            F
And I told you to be fine
      C
And I told you to be balanced
      G              F
And I told you to be kind
           C
And in the morning I'll be with you
            C/B             F
But it will be a different "kind"
            C
And I'll be holding all the tickets
              C/B            F
And you'll be owning all the fines
 
[Verse 3]
Am              C
Come on skinny love, what happened here
Am            C
Suckle on the hope in light brassiere
        Am          C
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
               D6sus2                 Am    Fmaj7/C
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split
 
[Chorus]
      C
And I told you to be patient
      C/B            F
And I told you to be fine
      C
And I told you to be balanced
      G              F
And I told you to be kind
        C
And now all your love is wasted
        C/B              F
So then who the hell was I?
        C
And I'm breaking at the britches
           C/B              F
And at the end of all your lines
 
[Outro]
C
Who will love you?
C/B       F
Who will fight?
C           C/B     F
Who will fall far behind?
