Aaron West And The Roaring Twenties — Winter Coats

    	    	Вступление

[Intro]
B

[Verse 1]
         B
I saw my sister lay in bed

Chain-smoking cigarettes
E               C#m              B
Window open, November spilling in
         B
I made a cross over my head

I dipped my fingertips
       E               C#m           B
In the calcified green holy water dish

[Chorus]
N.C.   E            F#
I took pity on your battered soul
    G#m            C#m
And never let you in
  E                F#
I feel like a lost winter coat
     G#m              C#m
In a county church's basement
         E
Where I wept
                         F#
I can't believe that I'm here again

[Interlude]
B

[Verse 2]
            B
Waited till everybody left

I sat at the organ
    E               C#m               B
And played myself a slow and quiet hymn
             B
And then you sat up from the bench

You scared me half to death
  E               C#m                 B
I hadn't seen you since you were a kid

[Chorus]
N.C.   E            F#
I took pity on your battered soul
    G#m            C#m
And never let you in
  E                F#
I feel like a lost winter coat
     G#m              C#m
In a county church's basement
   E
I get it
   F#
I get it

[Bridge]
             C#m
Christ, you got tall
                         E
You've got your grandfather's chin
               G#m
I guess you're mom's been pretty busy
               F#
Why don't you sit with me a bit
             C#m
If you like that song
              E
Then I can teach you it
        G#m
Come on over to the organ
     F#
It's easy, I promise, I promise

[Verse 3]
         B                         E  B
Put your left hand here like that

Line up your right and then
     E       C#m                  B
It's B to E, C Sharp Minor and back
             B                    E  B
And hey I'm sorry about your dad

I watched you during mass
        E                C#m            B
He'd be so damn proud of  how brave you've been

[Outro]
          E             F#
You took pity on their battered souls
    B               C#m
And never let them in
       E               F#
But if I'm just a lost winter coat
     G#m               C#m
In a county church's basement
         E
I could be of use
                       F#
If you're cold I could shelter you
          G#m             C#m              E
And maybe I could stick around a bit you know
         F#             B
If you want someone to talk to
