[Intro] G C [Verse 1] G When you're speaking with me, l feel like I'm at sea Nothing is moving but the pull of these old sleeves C I'm waiting and all I've done is wait G My grandma's a lady, she was in the navy C She remembers everything but what does she daydream about? G I'll learn a new chord to go through a new door C But there's nothing I can play to just make you hear me out [Chorus] D I'll let you leave, leave, Em leave my heart in your old jeans D I'll let you leave, leave, C leave my heart beneath your dreams [Verse 2] G You beautiful thing, you damn thing You took me on a ride and you told me what to think C I let it happen, I'll let you happen to me G Until the sky was red, I waited till you slept Your clothes were on my floor, I looked at them like clouds C No, I would never ask for more Than whatever you are right now [Chorus] D I'll let you leave, leave, Em leave my heart in your old jeans D I'll let you leave, leave, C leave my heart beneath your dreams D I'll let you leave, leave, Em leave my heart in your old jeans D I'll let you leave, leave, C leave my heart beneath your dreams [Outro] G C D Em D C
