Lay Here chords by The Mulligan Brothers

Verse 1:

Am C G D x2

C
I remember I was singing about September
Em       G                                   D
When you walked across the boardwalk to that smoky bar
C                              Em
And I'd been singing for the last six nights
G                                            D
And I could barely talk to tell you just how pretty you were
             C              Em
But you were as pretty as a preachers wife on Sunday
          G                               D
And I was useless like a church bell on a Friday night
G                         Em
I felt like a tragedy all dressed in dirty clothes
         G                         D
When you walked out before I could say

Pre-Chorus 1:

Am
How when you stopped in
    C
And the world stopped spinning
G               D
I gotta let you know
         Am
Just how I've become an artist
    C
And how things fall apart
    G              D
Its the only thing I know


Chorus:
D              Am   Em
Won't you just stay here
C              G          D
Would you just stay here
               Am        C
Won't you just stay here
C           G    D
We can just stay here


Verse 2:
C                      Em
Spent the whole next night on the telephone
        G                           D
We were both alone and waiting on a change
  C                   Em
And I remember I felt as suave as a prom date
G                                        D
15 minutes late in a rented suit and his mothers car
C                                        Em
The next night was a Monday and you came over to my house
          G                      D
We hardly talked about anything, but it never got quiet until we
C                                Em
Kissed our first of many and the clock hands took reprieve
G                                       D
From the round the clock labor of their day to day


Pre-Chorus 2:
Am
Cause when you stopped in
    C
And the world stopped spinning
G                  D
I've gotta let you know
Am                                                   C
That I know it will I don't know when that time will matter again
      G                     D
But I don't want to let you go


Chorus:
D              Am   Em
Won't you just stay here
C              G          D
Would you just stay here
               Am        C
Won't you just stay here
C           G    D
We can just stay here


Musical break:
C Em G D G D

C                        Em
I was thinking I'd swing by sometime around midnight
G                  D
Turn my headlights off when I get near
G                               Em
Lets say you and me, we get the hell out of this town
G                                    D
Cause weâre the only thing that ever happened here
C                             Em
I've got 50 dollars and if we ride with the windows down
      G                              D
And I screen my smokes I think we'll make it into Georgia
    C
And we'll improvise from there
   Em
Everybody know from here
               G                                  D
That you canât go to hell without passing through Atlanta first
     C
I'll find a dead end job and
       Em
Try to write a dead end song
        G                           D
Just thoughtless enough to make the radio
    C
And we'll drink wine like water
   Em
As if we had a sorrow to drown
G                       D
If that donât work it's alright baby
            Am      G Em
We can just stay here
Em          G       D
We can just stay here


Pre-Chorus 3:
C
Because when you stopped in

And the world stopped spinning
G               D
I gotta let you know
         C
Just how I've become an artist

At how things fall apart
    G                D
Its the only thing I know


Chorus:
D              Am   Em
Won't you just stay here
C              G          D
Would you just stay here
               Am        C
Won't you just stay here
C           G    D
We can just lay here


Bridge:
D           Am      C
We can just stay here
C           G       D
We can just stay here
D          Am       C
We can get away dear
C           G       D
We can just lay here
