Inro:
A minorAm

C majorC    A7/GA7/G    A minorAm
Hell on earth ain't hard to find

C majorC      A7/GA7/G A minorAm
But you can save me from mine

C majorC    A7/GA7/G  A minorAm
Stop the time's bayonet

C majorC        A7/GA7/G  A minorAm
From stabbing all that's delicate

C majorC      A7/GA7/G   A minorAm
I won't be afraid of growing old

C majorC   A7/GA7/G   A minorAm
If I have your hand to hold

C majorC      A7/GA7/G A minorAm
I'm looking for eternity

C majorC     A7/GA7/G A minorAm
Will you find it with me

Chorus:

DmDm  FF C majorC      G+G
Please, stay awhile

DmDm  FF C majorC      G+G
Show me how to smile

DmDm  FF C majorC      G+G
Please, stay awhile

C majorC  A7/GA7/G     A minorAm
I am not a great man

C majorC    A7/GA7/G      A minorAm
But I'll give you all I can

C majorC      A7/GA7/G   A minorAm
I'll be the lashes on your eyes

C majorC      A7/GA7/G     A minorAm
Catch every tear that you cry

Chorus:

DmDm  FF C majorC      G+G
Please, stay awhile

DmDm  FF C majorC      G+G
Show me how to smile

DmDm  FF C majorC      G+G
Please, stay awhile


   DmDm
Let's fill this room with empty coffee cups

FF               C majorC   G+G
so we don't ever have to go to sleep

    DmDm
Because if I close my eyes

    FF              C majorC   G+G
I fear tomorrow won't let this day repeat


  DmDm
My life's been filled with turned out lights

FF               C majorC  G+G
haunted by the hurt of closing doors


   DmDm
Let's turn the locks and lose the keys

FF               C majorC  G+G
I don't want them open anymore (anymore)

    DmDm
Well I see you in an antique wedding gown

FF                C majorC
and me slowly walking down the aisle

        G+G
Can you see us now?


       DmDm
And won't you be the mother of my child

FF               C majorC
I can see you every time she smiles

       G+G
I love your smile

   DmDm  FF    C majorC  G+G
So please, stay awhile

DmDm   FF    C majorC  G+G
