Come on skinny love, just last the year
5 6 6 5 -6 6 6 -4 5 -4 4
Pour a little salt, we were never here
3 -3” 4 3 -3” 4 3 5 3 4
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my ,my
4 4 -4 5 -5 5 4
Staring at the sink of blood
4 3 3 -3”
And crushed veneer
5 5 6 -6 6 6 -4 5
I tell my love to wreck it all
5 6 6 5 -6 6 6 -4 5 -4 4
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
3 -3” 4 3 -3” 4 3 5 3 4
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
4 4 4 -4 5 4 -4 4 -4 4 -3”
Right at the moment this order's tall
4 4 6 5 5 -4 -4 5
And I told you to be patient
4 4 6 5 5 -4 -4 4
And I told you to be fine
4 4 6 5 5 -4 -4 5
And I told you to be balanced
4 4 6 5 5 -4 -4 4
And I told you to be kind
4 4 4 6 5 5 -4 -4 5
And in the morning, I'll be with you
4 4 4 6 5 5 5 -4 -4 4
But it will be a different kind
4 4 4 6 5 5 -4 -4 5
'Cause I'll be holding all the tickets
4 4 4 6 5 5 -4 -4 4
And you'll be owning all the fines
5 6 6 5 -6 6 6 -4 5
Come on skinny love, what happened here?
5 6 6 5 -6 6 6 -4 5
Suckle on the hope in light brassiere
3 -3” 4 3 -3” 4 3 5 3 4
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
4 4 -4 5 -5 5 4 4 3 3 -3”
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split
4 4 6 5 5 -4 -4 5
And I told you to be patient
4 4 6 5 5 -4 -4 4
And I told you to be fine
4 4 6 5 5 -4 -4 5
And I told you to be balanced
4 4 6 5 5 -4 -4 4
And I told you to be kind
4 4 4 6 5 5 -4 -4
And now all your love is wasted
4 4 4 6 5 5
Then who the hell was I?
4 4 4 6 5 5 -4 -4 5
'Cause now I'm breaking at the britches
4 4 4 6 5 5 -4 -4 4
And at the end of all your lines
5 6 6 5
Who will love you?
5 -4 4
Who will fight?
4 5 6 -6 6 -4 -3 4
And who will fall far behind?
5 6 6 5 -6
