[Intro] Abmaj7 Dbmaj7 [Verse 1] Abmaj7 When you're speaking with me, I feel like I'm at sea Nothing is moving but the pull of these old sleeves Dbmaj7 I'm waiting and all I've done is wait Abmaj7 My grandma's a lady, she was in the navy Dbmaj7 She remembers everything but what does she daydream about? Abmaj7 I'll learn a new chord to go through a new door Dbmaj7 But there's nothing I can play to just make you hear me out [Chorus] Eb Fm7 I'll let you leave, leave, leave my heart in your old jeans Eb Dbmaj7 I'll let you leave, leave, leave my heart beneath your dreams [Verse 2] Abmaj7 You beautiful thing, you damn thing You took me on a ride and you told me what to think Dbmaj7 I let it happen, I'll let you happen to me Abmaj7 Until the sky was red, I waited till you slept Your clothes were on my floor, I looked at them like clouds Dbmaj7 No, I would never ask for more Than whatever you are right now [Chorus] Eb Fm7 I'll let you leave, leave, leave my heart in your old jeans Eb Dbmaj7 I'll let you leave, leave, leave my heart beneath your dreams Eb Fm7 I'll let you leave, leave, leave my heart in your old jeans Eb Dbmaj7 I'll let you leave, leave, leave my heart beneath your dreams [Outro] Abmaj7 Dbmaj7 Eb Fm7 Eb Dbmaj7
