[intro] x2
C#m  A  E  B

[verse 1]
C#m             A                   E
Come on skinny love, just last the year
C#m             A                    E
Pour a little salt, we were never here
        C#m        A                    E
My my my - my my my - my my my my - my my...
               F#m
Staring at the sink of blood and
         C#m
crushed veneer
C#m        A                E
I tell my love to wreck it all
C#m              A                E
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
        C#m        A                    E
My my my - my my my - my my my my my
             F#m                 C#m
Right in the moment this order's tall

[chorus]
  E
I told you to be patient,
  G#m            C#m
I told you to be fine
  E
I told you to be balanced,
  G#m            C#m
I told you to be kind
         E
In the morning I'll be with you
            G#m              C#m
But it will be a different kind
          E
I'll be holding all the tickets
               G#m            C#m
And you'll be owning all the fines

[verse 2]
C#m            A                  E
Come on skinny love, what happened here
C#m            A                  E
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
        C#m        A                  E
My my my - my my my - my my my - my my...
        F#m                          C#m
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split

[chorus]
   E
I told you to be patient,
   G#m           C#m
I told you to be fine
   E
I told you to be balanced,
  G#m            C#m
I told you to be kind
     E
Now all your love is wasted,
     G#m             C#m
then who the hell was I?
                E
Cause now I'm breaking at the britches
           G#m              C#m
And at the end of all your lines

[bridge]
E                  G#m         C#m
Who will love you? Who will fight?
E                  G#m      C#m
And who will fall, far behind?
C#m             A           E  C#m  A  E
Come on skinny love ........
        C#m        A                    E
My my my - my my my - my my my - my my...
        C#m        A                    E
My my my - my my my - my my my - my my...
