[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
D6 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
D6 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?
