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


Am chordAm F chordF C chordC Cmaj7 chordCmaj7
I tell my love to wreck it all,
Am chordAm F chordF C chordC
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall,
Am chordAm F chordF C chordC
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my...
F chordF Dm chordDm Am chordAm
Right in the moment this order's tall.


C chordC
And I told you to be patient,
G chordG Am chordAm
And I told you to be fine,
C chordC
And I told you to be balanced,
G chordG Am chordAm
And I told you to be kind,
C chordC
And in the morning I'll be with you,
G chordG Am chordAm
But it will be a different kind,
C chordC
'Cause I'll be holding all the tickets,
G chordG Am chordAm
And you'll be owning all the fines.


Come on skinny love, what happened here?
Suckle on the hope in light brassieres,
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my...
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split.



And I told you to be patient,
And I told you to be fine,
And I told you to be balanced,
And I told you to be kind,
And now all your love is wasted,
Then who the hell was I?
'Cause now I'm breaking at the britches,
And at the end of all your lines.


C chordC
Who will love you?
Em chordEm Am chordAm
Who will fight?
C chordC Em chordEm Am chordAm
And who will fall far behind?

Come on skinny love,
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my...
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my.

About this song: Skinny Love

Skinny Love gained great public awareness in Belgium and the Netherlands when the song appeared in the fourth season of the tv-series, So You Think You Can Dance. The song became increasingly popular and in the final of that show, Birdy herself played the song while the 14 finalists danced to it. This version is a cover of Bon Iver's Skinny Love': http://www.last.fm/music/Bon+Iver/_/Skinny+Love
