Vincent Lima — The Man By The Coast

    	    	Вступление

[Chorus]
    E             B             F#         G#m
I heard there's a man who lives out by the coast
   E                     B
He stays there through winters
         F#         G#m
When the waters get cold
       E                B
He was young once, like me
         F#               G#m
Now he's scared that he's through
         E              B
That the last time he'd swim
         F#        G#m
Would be coming up soon


[Interlude]
E   B   F#   G#m
E   B   F#   G#m


[Verse 1]
      E                F#      G#m
I was 12 years old, at least I think I was
F#      B              G#m
When my father told me I'd been growing up
        E                 F#      G#m          F#     B     C#m
Then my legs grew on 'til I could reach the things he did
       E        F#  G#m
But my eyes got smaller
        B         C#m G#m
And the world got taller
      E                  F#         G#m
And I couldn't reach the things I'd seen
           B      F#
When I was young


[Chorus]
  E               B             F#         G#m
I heard there's a man who lives out by the coast
   E                     B
He stays there through winters
         F#         G#m
When the waters get cold
       E                B
He was young once, like me
         F#               G#m
Now he's scared that he's through
         E              B
That the last time he'd swim
         F#        G#m
Would be coming up soon

[Verse 2]
         E                   F#    G#m
Then the years got short and I was 21
      F#m    B          G#m
And I lost a friend and then I fell in love
      E                     F#    G#m              B    C#m
And I held her tight 'cause I was tired of letting go
      E             F#         G#m
I was terrified the years were speeding up
          F#               C#m   G#m
Would the wrinkles come before I lived enough?
  E               F#     G#m       B           F#
I miss the days I didn't know that I'd grow up


[Chorus]
  E               B             F#         G#m
I heard there's a man who lives out by the coast
   E                     B
He stays there through winters
         F#         G#m
When the waters get cold
       E                B
He was young once, like me
         F#               G#m
Now he's scared that he's through
         E              B
That the last time he'd swim
         F#        G#m
Would be coming up soon

[Outro]
         E               B              F#         G#m
When the leaves fell for winter, I went out by the coast
      E           B              F#         G#m
I was chasing the youth that I'd lost years before
  E              B         F#          G#m
I looked out and saw a man walk to the shore
          E           B          F#           G#m
There was snow on his feet but a smile in his soul
  E             B             F#         G#m
I talked to the man who lives out by the coast
       E             B
He was old now, like I'd be
         F#            G#m
When the years carried on
  E             F#             G#m             G#m
I begged him to tell me how to swim, when it's cold
             E          B
He said that everything ages
         F#           G#m
But the youth in your soul
       E            B
When I swim for the last time
        F#           G#m
I won't care if it's cold
