[B]
Jesse come on, [A#] [D#m] it's a horrible [F#] world where [A] we live, and [G#] it's [F#] growing [G#] cold.
[C#m] Hey Jesse, your face in the [E] place where we lay by the [F#] hearth, all apart.
[B] It [D#] hangs on my heart, [G#] and I'm [C#] keeping [G#] the [A] line [G#] [C#m] of stare.
No, I'm [F#] not scared.
I'll [B] wait for [G#] you.
Hey [C#m] Jesse, [F#] I'm not
[B] Jesse.
The floors [D#m] and the walls [F#] recalling [D#] your stare, and I [G#] remember too.
[C#m] All the pictures are faded [E] and shaded in gray.
[F#] But I still set a place, [B] a table, [D#]
a moon, [G#] and I'm [C#m] keeping [G#] the line [C#m] of stare.
[F#] No, I'm not scared.
[B] I'll wait for you.
[G#]
[C#m] Hey Jesse, [F#]
I'm lonely.
[B]
Spread [F#] on the [D#m] bed, [B] like when you left, and [G#] I've kept it for you.
[D#m] [G#] [C#m] All the blues and the [E] greens have been recently cleaned, [C#m] [F#] and are seemingly new.
[B] Hey Jesse, [D#] me and you [G#] will [C#m] [G#] swallow our [C#m] stares, and [F#] fix up my hair, [B] and sleep [G#] on a wedge.
[C#m] Hey Jesse, [F#] I'm lonely.
[B] Come home.
[Em] [B]
