Jimmys Lullaby

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
