Lover, you should have come over

Jeff Buckley Em Slow Rock

New versions

Tone: [D]
Capo:
Fingerpicking/Strumming pattern: down up down up down
 
[D] [C] [Em]
[D]
Looking out the door
 
[C] [Em]
I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
 
[D]
Parading in a wake of sad relations
 
[C] [Em]
as their shoes fill up with water
 
[G] [F#]
And maybe I'm too young
 
[Bm] [D] [G]
To keep good love from going wrong
 
[D] [C] [Em]
But tonight you're on my mind so (you'll never know)
 
 
[D]
I'm broken down and hungry for your love
 
[C] [Em]
With no way to feed it
 
[D]
Where are you tonight?
 
[C] [Em]
Child, you know how much I need it.
 
[G] [F#]
Too young to hold on
 
And too [Bm]old to just [D]break free and [G]run
 
 
[Bm]Sometimes a man gets c[Em]carried away,
 
When he f[Bm]feels like he should be having his f[Em]fun
 
And much too b[Bm]blind to see the damage he's [Em]done
 
S[C]Sometimes a man must awake to find that, r[D]really,
 
He has no[Em]no-one...
 
 
[D]So I'll wait for you.[Gm]you... And I'll burn oh
 
[A]Will I ever see your [G]sweet return,
 
[A] oh/or, will I ever learn? [C] [ Bm]
 
[A]Lover, you should've come [Em]over
 
'Cause it's not too l[D]late.
 
 
[D]Lonely is the room the bed is made
 
The open window [C]lets the [Em]rain in
 
[D]Burning in the corner is the only one
 
who dreams he [C]had you [Em]with him
 
[G]My body t[F#]turns and yearns for a s[Bm]sleep
 
that will n[D]never c[G]come
 
[F]It's never o[D]over,
 
my kingdom for a kiss up[C]upon her s[Em]shoulder
 
It's never o[D]over, all my riches for her smiles
 
when I slept so s[C]soft aga[Em]against her...
 
It's never [D]over,
 
all my blood for the sweetne[C]sweetness of her l[Em]laughter
 
It's never o[D]over, she is the tear
 
that hangs inside my s[C]soul for[Em]forever
 
[G]Maybe I'm just too y[F#]young to k[Bm]keep good love
 
[D] from going w[G]wrong [Gm]
 
[D]Oh... [Gm] [A] [G] [A] [C] [Bm]
 
[A]lover you should've come o[F#]over...
 
 
[D]I feel too young to hold [Gm]on
 
I'm m[A]much too old to break free and [G]run
 
Too d[A]deaf, dumb, and blind
 
to see the damage I've d[C]done [Bm]
 
Sweet l[A]lover, you should've come o[Em]over
 
 
Oh, love I'm waiting {I waited} for you
 
[D]Loooooo[Gm]Looooooover[A]over [G] [A] [C] [Bm]
 
Lov[A]Lover, you should've come o[Em]over
 
Cause it's not too la[D]late
