Come on skinny

My, my, my, my

             
              

          
 
             
Staring at the

              
 sink of blood

           
 and crushed v

                      
eneer

            
I tell my love

ll
            
Cut out all th

   
e ropes and le

t me fall
            
My, my, my, my

[Chorus]

  
I told you to 

be patient
           
I told you to 

   
be fine
  
I told you to 

be balanced

           
I told you to 

   
be kind
       
In the morning

 I'll be with 

you
            
But it will be

             
 a different "


kind"

        
I'll be holdin

g all the tick

ets

              
And you'll be 

           
owning all the

 
 fines

Come on skinny

rassiere
            
My, my, my, my

my
              
Sullen load is

             
 full; so slow

                  
 on the split


[Chorus]

  
I told you to 

be patient
           
I told you to

I told you to 

be balanced

           
I told you to

Now all your l

ove is wasted?

           
Then who the h

        
ell was I?
        
Now I'm breaki

And at the end

             
 of all your l


ines


[Bridge]


Who will love 

you?
      
Who will fight

?
          
Who will fall 

    
far behind?
