[Verse]

            
Come on skinny

             
 love just las

   
t the year
            
Pour a little 

             
salt we were n

     
ever here
            
My, my, my, my

             
, my, my, my, 

       
my
            
Staring at the

             
 sink of blood

              
 and crushed v

           
eneer

           
I tell my love

             
 to wreck it a

/
ll
            
Cut out all th

             
e ropes and le

       
t me fall
            
My, my, my, my

Right in the m

[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


[Verse]

            
Come on skinny

pened here
            
Suckle on the

Sullen load is

              
 full; so slow

                       
 on the split


[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
          
Now all your l

ove is wasted?
           
Then who the h

       
ell was I?
             
Now I'm breaki

ng at the brit

ches
           
And at the end

          
 of all your l

ines

             
 Who will love

                      
 you?

 Who will figh

t?
            
 Who will fall

/       
 far behind?
