The Raincoats Lament

(início)

Intro: Dm  F  C  G
C            G
Every day I pray the same:
Dm
Don’t let it rain,
F
don’t let it rain,
C                      G           F
‘cause I don’t want to do this anymore.
C                    G
I know why I’m here and I know what I do
Dm
but I can’t help it
F                   C                G          F
if I don’t want to let you wear me out of the front door,
Am
but I’ll try
G
and I’ll try
F
and I’ll try
C                G     F
to make you love me again.
‘Cause every single day it’s always the same
you forget my place
you forget my name
and I’m left inside with no one to keep dry
and I’m not warm like cloth
and I’m not cool like leather
but I care about you
and whatever the weather
I’m waiting to be warm right by your side
‘cause I’m dry
yeah, I’m dry
yeah, I’m dry
so why won’t you love me again?
I know one day you’ll come back to me
and you’ll pick me up
and you’ll smile as you see
my bright yellow coating smile at you
and you’ll put me on
and we’ll head out
and in my mind mind there is no doubt
that you’ll carry me around like you always used to do
but why
oh why
oh why
won’t you love me again?
but why
oh why
oh why
oh why
why won’t you love me again?
oh why, oh why, oh why
Can you be thirteen again?
