D#D#            C#C#            G#G#   G#sus4G#sus4
Your eyes seek conclusion in all this confusion of mine
D#D#             C#C#             G#G#  G#sus4G#sus4
Though you and I both know it's only the warm glow of wine
C#C#               G#G#
That's got you to feeling this way, but I don't care,

I want you to stay

     D#D#       C#C#            G#G#
And hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today
D#D#            C#C#             G#G#  G#sus4G#sus4
Children are dancin', the gamblers are chancin' their all
D#D#            C#C#         G#G#
The window's accusing the door of abusing the wall
C#C#
But who cares what the night watchmen say
G#G#
The stage has been set for the play
D#D#         C#C#            G#G#
Hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today

D#D#            C#C#                G#G#
  G#sus4G#sus4
The moon's come and gone but a few stars hang on on to the sky
D#D#           C#C#            G#G#   G#sus4G#sus4
The wind's runnin' free but it ain't up to me ask why
C#C#
The poets are demanding their pay
G#G#                  G#sus4G#sus4
They've left me with nothin' to say
   D#D#         C#C#            G#G#
'cept hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today
D#D#              C#C#            G#G#
