Wish I Could Stay Acoustic chords by Laleh

Chords with lyrics

Laleh played a very slow version of this song in concert a while ago. I liked it alot and these chords are
chosen with that slow version in mind. So it might not fit perfectly with the original song, just F.Y.I.
But It’s your life so play it like you want….=)
