Verse:
Am Em C
Come on skinny love just last the year
Am Em C
Pour a little salt we were never here
Am Em C
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
D Am C
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order's tall
Chorus:
C2
I told you to be patient
C/B Am2
I told you to be fine
C2
I told you to be balanced
C/B Am2
I told you to be kind
C2
In the morning I'll be with you
C/B Am2
But it will be a different "kind"
C2
I'll be holding all the tickets
C/B Am2
And you'll be owning all the fines
Verse:
Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split
Chorus:
I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
Now all your love is wasted?
Then who the hell was I?
Now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines
Bridge:
C2
Who will love you?
C/B Am2
Who will fight?
C2 C/B Am2
Who will fall far behind?
