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

I tell my love to wreck it all
Am              F                C
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
        Am        F                     C
My my my - my my my - my my my my - my my ...
             Am                 Am
Right in the moment this order's tall

C                        Em            Am
I told you to be patient I told you to be fine
  C                        Em            Am
I told you to be balanced I told you to be kind
         C
In the morning I'll be with you
            Em            Am
But it will be a different kind
          C
I'll be holding all the tickets

And you'll be owning all the fines

Am            F                  C
Come on skinny love what happened here

Now all your love is wasted then who the hell was I?
                C
Cause now I'm breaking at the britches
           Em              Am
And at the end of all your lines

C                  Em       Am
Who will love you? who will fight?
C                  Em    Am
And who will fall, far behind?

Am             F            C   (Am  F  C)
Come on skinny love ........
