Janis Ian – Jesse Chords

Jesse come home, there’s a hole in the bed
Where we slept, now it’s growing cold
Hey 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, I’m lonely, come home

Jesse, the floors and the boards
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
No, I’m not scared, I wait for you
Hey Jesse, I’m lonely, come home

Jesse, the spread on the bed
Is like when you left, I’ve kept it all for you
And all the blues and the greens have been recently cleaned
And they’re seemingly new, hey Jess’, me and you

We’ll swallow the light on the stairs
We’ll do up my hair, we’ll sleep unaware
Hey , Jesse, I’m lonely, come home
