Lyrics
Jesse, come home.
There's a (G)hole in the bed where we (Gm)slept;
now it's growing (A7sus)cold.
(A7)Hey, (Dm)Jesse, your face in the place where we lay by the hearth all apart,
it (C)hangs on my (E7)heart,
and I'm (A7)keeping the light on the (Dm)stairs.
No, I'm not scared.
I wait for (C)you.
(A7)Hey, (Dm)Jesse, I'm (G7)lonely, come (C6)home.
(Csus2)Jesse, the floors and the boards recalling your (Gm)steps,
and I remember, (A7sus)too.
(A7)All the (Dm)pictures are fading and shaded in grey,
but I (G7)still set a place on the (C)table at (E7)noon,
and I'm (A7)leaving the light on the (Dm)stairs.
No, I'm not scared.
I wait for (C)you.
(A7)Hey, (Dm)Jesse, I'm (G7)lonely, come (C6)home.
(Csus2)Jesse, the spread on the (G)bed is like when you (Gm)left.
I've kept it up for (A7sus)you.
(A7)All the (Dm)blues and the greens have been recently cleaned and it's (G7)seemingly new.
Hey, (C)Jess, me and (E7)you, we'll (A7)swallow the light on the (Dm)stairs,
we'll do up my hair and sleep (C)unaware.
(A7)Hey, (Dm)Jesse, I'm so (G7)lonely, come (Csus2)home.
