Em              C                   G          G 
Come on skinny love just last the year 
Em              C                   G          G 
Pour a little salt we were never here 
        Em           C         G 
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my 
                Am7                       Em 
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer  
Em           C              G        G 
  I tell my love to wreck it all 
Em               C               G        G 
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall 
         Em          C        G 
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my 
              Am7                 Em 
Right in the moment this order's tall

[Chorus]

G 
I told you to be patient 
  Em7           Cadd9 
I told you to be fine 
G 
I told you to be balanced 
   Em7           Cadd9 
I told you to be kind 
G 
In the morning I'll be with you 
       Em7                  Cadd9 
But it will be a different "kind" 
G 
I'll be holding all the tickets 
              Em7            Cadd9 
And you'll be owning all the fines

Em             C                   G         G 
Come on skinny love what happened here 
Em             C                   G         G 
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere 
        Em           C         G 
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my 
       Am7                        Em 
Sullen load is full; slow on the split

G 
I told you to be patient 
       Em7       Cadd9 
I told you to be fine 
G 
I told you to be balanced 
       Em7       Cadd9 
I told you to be kind 
G 
Now all your love is wasted? 
        Em7         Cadd9 
Then who the hell was I? 
G 
Now I'm breaking at the britches 
           Em7              Cadd9 
And at the end of all your lines

G 
  Who will love you? 
Em7         Cadd9 
  Who will fight? 
G 
  Who will fall 
Em7       Cadd9 
  far behind?  
G 
  Who will love you? 
Em7         Cadd9 
  Who will fight? 
G 
  Who will fall 
Em7        Cadd9 
  far behind?
