Verse 1:
C majorC
Jesse come home
      E minorEm
There's a hole in the bed
      A7A7
Where we slept
   Bb majorBb      A augmentedA  A7A7
Now it's growing cold.
   DmDm
Hey Jesse, your face
     G7G7
In the place where we lay
     DmDm
By the hearth, all apart,
   C majorC      E7E7
It hangs on my heart.

Chorus:
     A7A7            DmDm
And I'm leaving the light on the stairs.
      G7G7          C majorC  A7A7
No, I'm not scared - I wait for you.
   DmDm    G7G7      C majorC
Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home.

Verse 2:
C majorC              E minorEm
Jesse, the floors and the boards
        A7A7
Recalling your step
  Bb majorBb      A augmentedA  A7A7
And I remember, too.
     DmDm
All the pictures are fading
   G7G7
And shaded in grey
    DmDm
But I still set a place
    C majorC    E7E7
On the table at noon.

Chorus:
     A7A7            DmDm
And I'm leaving the light on the stairs.

Verse 3:
C majorC            E minorEm
Jesse, the spread on the bed
         A7A7
Is like when you left
   G minorGm       A augmentedA  A7A7
I've kept it all for you.
       DmDm
And all the blues and the greens
     G7G7
Have been recently cleaned
       DmDm
And they're seemingly new.
   C majorC      E7E7
Hey Jess, me and you,

Chorus:
    A7A7            DmDm
We'll swallow the light on the stairs.
       G7G7
We'll do up my hair.
        Csus2Csus2  A7A7
We'll sleep unaware.
   DmDm     G7G7      C majorC
Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home.
