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

  Am        C              C/G
I tell my love to wreck it all
   Am               C              C/G
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
       Am             C             C/G
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
           G/B                         Am     C     C/G
Right in the moment this order's tall


[chorus]

     C
I told you to be patient
 G/B            F/A
I told you to be fine
      C
I told you to be balanced
 G/B              F/A
I told you to be kind
           C
In the morning I'll be with you
           G/B              F/A
But it will be a different "kind"
          C
I'll be holding all the tickets
             G/B           F/A
And you'll be owning all the fines


  Am            C              C/G
Come on skinny love what happened here
Am              C            C/G
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
      Am             C          C/G
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
         G/B                           Am      C      C/G
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split


     C
I told you to be patient
  G/B        F/A
I told you to be fine
      C
I told you to be balanced
 G/B            F/A
I told you to be kind
          C
Now all your love is wasted?
   G/B               F/A
Then who the hell was I?
             C
Now I'm breaking at the britches
        G/B             F/A
And at the end of all your lines


C                                   G/B
 Who will love you?
F/A
 Who will fight?
C            G/B       F/A
 Who will fall far behind?
