Leith Ross - Jimmy’s Lullaby

[Intro]
Ab

[Verse 1]
Ab Db Ab Db
It’s getting hard to leave your apartment
Ab Db Eb
The light goes too often and your power is down
Ab Db Ab Db
It’s getting dark and warmth isn’t promised
Ab Db Eb Ab
But I’ll like you longest when love’s not around

[Chorus]
Db Eb
I’m gonna come over
Ab Bbm
And I’m gonna sit there
Db
And I’m gonna hold you
Eb
To me when you cry
Db Eb
I’m gonna love better
Ab Bbm
And I’m gonna listen
Db Ab Eb Ab
And I’m gonna spend winter home by your side

[Verse 2]
Ab Db Ab
I’ve spent a life breaking my promises
Ab Db Ab Eb
‘Cause the ones that I offered were forced from my hand
Ab Db Ab Db
I’ve spent a life practicing caution
Ab Db Eb Ab
And I haven’t often changed all my plans

[Chorus]
Db Eb
But you just come over
Ab Bbm
And I watch you sit there
Db
And offer to hold me
Eb
To you when I cry
Db Eb
I’ve learned to love better
Ab Bbm
Since I’ve seen you listen
Db Ab Eb Ab
And I’m gonna spend winter home by your side

[Bridge]
Ab Db
I’ve spent the year counting my losses
Ab Db Ab
Waiting for slip-ups and scolding my skin
Ab Db
I’ve spent the year counting my downfalls
Ab Db Eb Ab
Saying I called it and calling it quits

[Chorus]
Db Eb
But something is stirring
Ab Bbm
And something is different
Db
I stood in your kitchen
Eb
And I knelt down and cried
Db Eb Ab Bbm
I think you weep when you find what you’re missing
Db Ab
And I’m gonna spend winter home by your side

[Refrain]
Ab Db
It’s getting hard to leave your apartment
Ab Db
The light goes too often and your power is down
Ab Db
It’s getting dark and warmth isn’t promised
Ab Db
But I’ll love you longest

[Outro]
Eb Ab
