Intro: Am-Cadd9  

Am                               Cadd9 
Come on skinny love just last the year 
Am                               Cadd9 
Pour a little salt, we were never here 
Am                         Cadd9 
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my 
                 G                          Am 
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer 

Am                       Cadd9 
Tell my love to wreck it all 
Am                           Cadd9 
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall 
Am                         Cadd9 
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my 
               G                    Am 
Right in this moment this order's tall 

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

Am                        Cadd9 
Come on skinny love, what happened here? 
Am                        Cadd9 
We suckled on the hope in lite brassieres 
Am                         Cadd9 
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my 
                G                       Am 
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split 

     Cadd9 
And I told you to be patient 
       G               Am 
And I told you to be fine 
       Cadd9 
And I told you to be balanced 
     G                Am 
And I told you to be kind 
      Cadd9 
And now all your love is wasted 
        G                Am 
And then who the hell was I? 
           Cadd9 
And I'm breaking at the britches 
           G                Am 
And at the end of all your lines........(pause) 

Cadd9 
Who will love you? 
G             Am 
  Who will fight? 
Cadd9          G       Am 
Who will fall far behind? 
Cadd9          G       Am 
Ooh, ooh
