[Intro]
B
[Verse 1]
I saw my Bsister lay in bed
Chain-smoking cigarettes
EWindow open, NovC#member spilling inB
I made a Bcross over my head
I dipped my fingertips
In the Ecalcified green C#mholy water disBh
[Chorus]
[Interlude]
B
[Verse 2]
N.C.
I took Epity on your F#battered soul And G#mnever let you iC#mn I Efeel like a lost F#winter coat In a G#mcounty church's bC#masement Where I wEept I can't believe that I'm F#here againWaited till Beverybody left
I sat at the organ
And Eplayed myself a C#mslow and quiet hymBn
And then you Bsat up from the bench
You scared me half to death
I Ehadn't seen you C#msince you were a kidB
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
N.C.
I took Epity on your F#battered soul And G#mnever let you iC#mn I Efeel like a lost F#winter coat In a G#mcounty church's bC#masement I gEet it I gF#et itChrist, you gC#mot tall
You've got your grandfathEer's chin
I guess you're G#mmom's been pretty busy
Why don't you sF#it with me a bit
If you like tC#mhat song
Then I can teaEch you it
Come on G#mover to the organ
It's F#easy, I promise, I promise
[Verse 3]
Put your Bleft hand here like that E B
Line up your right and then
It's EB to E, C#mC Sharp Minor and bacBk
And hey I'm sBorry about your dad E B
I watched you during mass
He'd be Eso damn proud of C#m how brave you'Bve been
[Outro]
You took pEity on their bF#attered souls
And Bnever let them iC#mn
But if EI'm just a lost F#winter coat
In a G#mcounty church's baC#msement
I could bEe of use
If you're cold I could F#shelter you
And maybe G#mI could stick arC#mound a bit you knEow
If you waF#nt someone to tBalk to
