He spends the morning smoking foggy damp - bus stop cold. 
F                    Am              G 
Darling, you're only 17, why are you scared of growing old? 
C 
You trace your name in the water on a classroom window 
F                  Am                      G 
Then with one warm breathe you watch your faith fade and your dreams go but 

F             G                 Am 
There are raindrops in your raincoats (?) 
                    C 
Never bothered, too cold 
F                       G 
Oh they'll smile from a street lamp for a while

But they'll say nothing at all

The mute-head (?) was calling but you can't hear a word he says 
F                       Am                 G 
Something 'bout his raincoat but his words all a blaze 

F             G                 Am 
There are raindrops in your raincoats (?)
