Stay by me

Stay by me

You are the one
D MajorD       G+G
My only true

Verse:
G+G
The butcher bird makes its noise and it asks you to agree
E minorEm                   D MajorD
With its brutal nesting habits and its pointless savagery
G+G
Now the nightingale it sings to you and raises up the ante
E minorEm                   D MajorD
I put one hand on your round ripe heart and the other down your panties

Chorus:
G+G
Everything is falling dear, everything is wrong
E minorEm
It's just history repeating itself

And babe you turn me on
G+G
Like a light bulb, babe
    E minorEm  D MajorD
Like a song

Verse:
G+G
You race naked thru the wilderness, you torment the birds and the bees
E minorEm                D MajorD
You leapt inot the abyss but find it only goes up to your knees
G+G
I move stealthily from tree to tree, I shadow you for hours
E minorEm              D MajorD
I make like I'm a little deer grazing on the flowers

Chorus:
G+G
Everything is collapsing, dear, all moral sense is gone
E minorEm
It's just history repeating itself
D MajorD           G+G
And babe you turn me on
G+G
Like an idea, babe
    E minorEm   D MajorD
Like an atom bomb

Verse:
G+G
We stand awed inside a clearing, we do not make a sound
E minorEm                D MajorD
The crimson snow falls all about, carpeting the ground


Chorus:
G+G
Everything is falling, dear, all rhyme and reason gone
E minorEm
It's just history repeating itself
D MajorD           G+G
And babe you turn me on
G+G
Like an idea, babe
    E minorEm   D MajorD
Like an atom bomb
