(G major) (D major) (E minor) (C major) (C minor) (G major) Jesse come home,
(B minor) there's a hole in (E major) the bed
(A minor) Where (D minor) we slept; now it's

Jesse (A minor) your face,

(E major) And I'm leaving

the light
on the (A minor) stairs
No I'm not (G major) (A minor) (D major) scared; I wait for you (G major) (B major)

Verse 3
(A minor) Jesse (A major) the stairs in the (E major) halls, recalling
Your (E minor) step; and I remember (F sharpsus4) too. (F sharp major)
All the (B minor) pictures are shaded (D major) and fading in (B minor) grey
(D major) And (Esus4) I still set a place (E major)
on the (A major) table at noon (C sharp major)
Verse 4
And I'm (F sharpsus4) leaving the (F sharp major) light on the (B minor) stairs
No I'm not (E major) (Esus4)
(E major) scared; I wait for (A major) you (F sharp major)
Hey (B minor) Jesse, it's (E major) lonely,
(F sharp minor) come home.
(C sharp minor) (B major) (E major) (B minor) (D major) (Dsus4)
Verse 5
(G major) Jesse the spread on the bed, (D major)
(B minor) It's like (D major) when you left, (D minor) I kept it for (E major) you. (D major)
(E major) All the (A minor) blues and the greens
have been (C major) recently cleaned (A minor)
And are (Dsus4) seemingly (C major) (D major) (C major) (D major) new; hey (G major) Jess,
me and (B major) you.
Verse 6
We'll (E major) swallow the light (A flat minor)
(A flatdim) (E major) on the (A minor) stairs
I'll fix up my hair, (D major)
(Dsus4) (D major) we'll sleep unawares
(G major) (E major) Hey Jesse, (A minor) it's (D major) lonely, come (G major) home
