INTRO: C   Am   Dm   C


Some old ships they sail

Some old ships they sink
Am
'Cause you got a bottle

Don't mean you have to drink
Dm
When you comin' home baby
                             C
When you comin' back to your girl



I been on the east side

Waiting for your call
    Am
And I've been working corners

When I work at all
Dm
When you comin' home baby
                             C
When you comin' back to your girl


CHORUS:
             F     C   Dm7 C   G
'Cause these walls are closing in
             F    C  Dm7 C   G
And your old coat is way too thin


C
Billy on the corner

He's still taking bets
    Am
But I don't like to gamble

On things that I can't get
Dm
When you comin' home baby
                             C
When you comin' back to your girl


INSTRUMENTAL: C   Am   Dm   C


CHORUS:
    F  C     Dm7 C   G
The winter's closing in
             F    C  Dm7 C   G
And your old coat is way too thin


C
Banging on the ceiling

Banging on the floor
Am
Water pipes are freezing

And my key don't fit the door
Dm
When you comin' home baby
                             C
When you comin' back to your girl
Dm
When you comin' home baby
                             C
When you comin' back to your girl
Dm
When you comin' home baby
                             C
When you comin' back to your girl
