Starts with: Dm7    Em     Am 


Am 
    In the sand you used to lay, 
                      Dm7 
You'd be there at my side, 

As the night fell on the shore, 
         Em 
She had gone, 
                  Fmaj7* 
I trusted to you to stay. 


Am 
    Read the story in the papers, 
                   Dm7 
Of a lover who had gone, 

Think that she has moved away, 
                       Em 
No one heard from her at all, 
     Fmaj7* 
For years. 


Am 
    Someone must have heard her leave, 
          Dm7 
Saw something, 

Get a job or get a place, 
            Em 
All these questions made, 
             Fmaj7*   Em 
No sense to me. 



Chorus: (To sound more rocky and like the track just play these as power chords) 
             Am       G* 
Comes as no surprise, 
              Fmaj7*  Em 
Stay with me tonight, 
                Am     Em 
Said you'd never leave, 
                 Fmaj7*  Dm7 
Pray that you are safe, 
Em          Am      Em 
Comes as no surprise, 
             Fmaj7*  Dm7 
Stay with me tonight, 
Em            Am 
Stay with me tonight. 


(verse begins immediately at the end of the Chorus) 


Am 
Every year I will return, 
                     Dm7 
And briefly you are there, 

And you always look the same, 
          Em 
Nothing changes, 
                Fmaj7* 
Must have been the breeze. 


Am 
    You have shot me to the bone, 
                   Dm7 
And ripped me up again, 

Was the cruelest thing to do, 
            Em 
Came as no surprise, 
    Fmaj7* 
To me. 


Am 
    Met a soldier from the war, 
            Dm7 
Stole her things, 

Died alone a junkie, 
         Em 
I still wait for you, 
               Fmaj7* 
I know you're safe. 



Chorus: 
Em            Am     G* 
Comes as no surprise, 
             Fmaj7*  Em 
Stay with me tonight, 
                Am    Em 
Said you'd never leave, 
                Fmaj7*  Dm7 
Pray that you are safe, 
Em            Am    Em 
Comes as no surprise, 
              Fmaj7*  Dm7 
Stay with me tonight, 
Em           Dm7  Em   Dm7 
Stay with me tonight, 
Em            Am 
Stay with me tonight.
