Lover by Jeff Buckley

Original Key: D Major 🎸 Intro: D Em [VERSE ONE] D Looking out the door, I see the rain Em Fall upon the funeral mourners D Parading in a wake of sad relations Em As their shoes fill up with water Dbdim F# Maybe I'm too young G To keep good love from going wrong D But tonight you're on my mind Em So you'll never know

[VERSE TWO] D Broken down and hungry for your love Em With no way to feed it D Where are you tonight? D Em Child, you know how much I need it Dbdim F# Too young to hold on Bm A G F# And too old to just break free and run [VERSE THREE] Bm Em Sometimes a man gets carried away Bm Em When he feels like he should be having his fun Bm Em And much too blind to see the damage he's done C Bm Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really, he has no one [PRE-chorus] D Gm So I'll wait for you, and I'll burn F#m Bm Will I ever see your sweet return? Oh, will I ever learn? 🎸 Chorus: Oh, oh, oh Lover, you should've come over 'Cause it's not too late Mhm [VERSE FOUR] Lonely is the room, the bed is made The open window lets the rain in Burning in the corner is the only one Who dreams he had you with him My body turns and yearns For a sleep that won't ever come 🎸 Bridge: It's never over My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder It's never over All my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her It's never over All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter It's never over She's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever Oh, but maybe I'm just too young To keep good love from going wrong 🎸 Chorus: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh Lover, you should've come over Yeah, yeah, yeah Yes, I, I feel too young to hold on And much too old to break free and run Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage I've done Sweet lover, you should've come over How long will I wait for you? Lover, lover, lover Lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover Lover, lover, lover, you should've come over 'Cause it's not too late
