The Raincoat's Lament

	  		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?
