Dido - Don't Leave Home
Album: Life For Rent ('2003)
Track: #6/11
It seems my first effort was none too good - hopefully this attempt is rather
more accurate (although it's quite possible that some of the G6 chords should
really be Em7). I should state that much of the credit for this should go to Denis Jacob!
Capo 4

The following is played under the verses (the rhythm is approximate):
e |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|

oh____________ don't leave home
---
like a ghost don't need a key
your best friend I've come to be
please don't think of getting up for me
you don't even need to speak
when I've been here for just one day
you'll already miss me when I go away
so close the blinds and shut the door
you won't need other friends anymore
oh don't leave home,
oh don't leave home
and if you're cold, I'll keep you warm
if you're low, just hold on
'cos I will be your safety
oh don't leave home
and I arrived when you were weak
I'll make you weaker, like a child
now all your love you give to me
when your heart is all I need
oh don't leave home,
oh don't leave home
and if you're cold, I'll keep you warm
if you're low, just hold on
'cos I will be your safety
oh don't leave home
[No chord (or you could play G6 or Em7)]
oh how quiet, quiet the world can be
when it's just you and little me
everything is clear, everything is new
so you won't be leaving will you
and if you're cold, I'll keep you warm
if you're low, just hold on
'cos I will be your safety
oh don't leave home
I will be your safety
I will be your safety
I will be your safety
oh don't leave home
