G
Jesse come home
Bm
There's a hole in the bed
G7
Where we slept

Now it's growing cold.

Jesse, your face

In the place where we lay

By the hearth, all apart

It hangs on my heart.

And I'm leaving the light on the stairs.

No
I'm not scared - I wait for you.

Hey Jesse
It's lonely, come home.

Jesse, the floors and the boards
G7
Recalling your step

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.

Verse 3:
G Bm
Jesse, the spread on the bed
G7
Is like when you left
E7
I've kept it all for you.
Am
And all the blues and the greens
D7
Have been recently cleaned
G
And are seemingly new.
G7 B7
Hey Jess, me and you
Chorus:
E7 Am
We'll swallow the light on the stairs.
D7
I'll fix up my hair.
G E7
We'll sleep unaware.
Am D7 G
Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home.
