Aaron West And The Roaring Twenties - Winter Coats Live Chords

[Intro]
G | G\B

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

Chain-smoking cigarettes
Cadd9        Am                G
Window open, November spilling in
                            G/B G
I made a cross over my head
                       Cadd9                  Am          G
I dipped my fingertips in the calcified green holy water dish


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

[Interlude]
G


[Verse 2]
G
Waited 'til everybody left

I sat at the organ
    Cadd9           Am             G
And played myself a slow and quiet hymn

And then you sat up from the bench

You scared me half to death
Cadd9                              G
I hadn't seen you since you were a kid


[Chorus]
       C            D
I took pity on your battered soul
    Em            Am
And never let you in
           C                D
But if you feel like a lost winter coat
     Em              Am
In a county church's basement
C         D
I get it, I get it


[Bridge]
        Em
Christ, you got tall
                      C
You've got your grandfather chin
               Em
I guess you're mom's been pretty busy
              D
Why don't you sit with me a bit
Am
If you like that song
       C
Then I can teach you it
        Em
Come on over to the organ
    D       Dsus4       D
It's easy, I promise, I promise


[Verse 3]
 G*
Put your left hand here like that
 G*                              Cadd9*  Am*                    G*
Line up your right and then it's B to E, C Sharp Minor and back
        G*                       G* G/B*
And hey I'm sorry about your dad

I watched you during mass
Cadd9*                   Am*              G*
He'd be so damn proud of how brave you've been


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