Come on skinny love just last the year
EmCGG
Pour a little salt we were never here

Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
EmCGG

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Am7Em
Right in the moment this order's tall

I told you to be kind

And you'll be owning all the fines

And at the end of all your lines
