Jesse piano leadsheet with chords

Level 2C110 BPMJanis Ian
Getting the sheet readyPip is finding the first note.

Jesse, come home.

There's a hole in the bed where we slept;

now it's growing cold.

Hey, Jesse, your face in the place where we lay by the hearth all apart,

it hangs on my heart,

and I'm keeping the light on the stairs.

No, I'm not scared.

I wait for you.

Hey, Jesse, I'm lonely, come home.

Jesse, the floors and the boards recalling your steps,

and I remember, too.

All the pictures are fading and shaded in grey,

but I still set a place on the table at noon,

and I'm leaving the light on the stairs.

No, I'm not scared.

I wait for you.

Hey, Jesse, I'm lonely, come home.

Jesse, the spread on the bed is like when you left.

I've kept it up for you.

All the blues and the greens have been recently cleaned and it's seemingly new.

Hey, Jess, me and you, we'll swallow the light on the stairs,

we'll do up my hair and sleep unaware.

Hey, Jesse, I'm so lonely, come home.
