Verse:
AmC
Come on skinny love just last the year
AmC
Pour a little salt we were never here
AmC
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
GAm
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
Verse:
AmC
I tell my love to wreck it all
AmC
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
AmC
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
GAm
Right in this moment this order's tall
Chorus:
C
I told you to be patient
GF
I told you to be fine
C
I told you to be balanced
GF
I told you to be kind
C
In the morning I'll be with you
GF
But it will be a different kind
C
I'll be holding all the tickets
GF
And you'll be owning all the fines
Verse:
AmC
Come on skinny love what happened here
AmC
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
AmC
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
GAm
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split
Chorus:
C
I told you to be patient
GF
I told you to be fine
C
I told you to be balanced
GF
I told you to be kind
C
Now all your love is wasted?
GF
Then who the hell was I?
C
Now I'm breaking at the britches
GF
And at the end of all your lines
Outro:
C
Who will love you?
GF
Who will fight?
CGF
Who will fall far behind?
Repeat Intro
Bon Iver is a Grammy Award winning folk band from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, United States, and one of Justin Vernon’s current and most notable music projects to date. The band also consists of Mike Noyce, Sean Carey and Matt MacCaughan.
The name ‘Bon Iver’ (pronounced “bon ee-VAIR”) is a play on the French phrase ‘bon hiver’ meaning ‘good winter’. Vernon independently released Bon Iver’s debut album For Emma, Forever Ago in 2007, most of which was recorded during a four-month stay in a remote cabin in Wisconsin.
