Stay

[Intro ]
C Am F G 


[Verso 1]
 
 C 
Long brown hair 
           Am 
Confidence, oh, in her 
               F 
Laughing, but damn, she's scared 
     G 
To be loved 
             C 
Dancing with all these men 
               Am 
Avoiding like half her friends 
                F 
Leans in for a kiss, asking for a drink 
              G 
It's getting late I think 
 


[Refrão]
 
               C 
Why don't you like being loved? 
                     Dm 
You leave when it's just enough 
           C   Fmaj7 
Why don't you like standing still? 
              Dm 
Watching the crowd lights fill 
         Am 
You have to run 
                          G 
But trust me, it's way more fun 
         F 
If you stay 
           G 
Why don't you stay? 
 


[Verso 2]
 
      C 
City-bound, young teen 
            Am 
Drowning in opportunity 
           F 
Can't see her fate 
            G 
Just hates her face 
              C 
Avoids every passerby 
                Am 
Can't look a stranger in the eye 
           F 
Takes just one drink 
         G 
Now she can't think 
                C 
Smiling through every pain 
             Am 
Breaking, becoming thin 
                  F 
But laughing like it's all sweet 
             G 
Marching to her own beat 
 


[Refrão]
 
               C 
Why don't you like being loved? 
                     Dm 
You leave when it's just enough 
               F 
Why don't you like standing still? 
              Dm 
Watching the crowd lights fill 
         Am 
You have to run 
                          G 
But trust me, it's way more fun 
         F 
If you stay 
           G 
Why don't you stay? 
 


[Ponte]
 
              C 
Words that I wish I said 
                 Am 
I'm sorry you're in your head 
            Fmaj7 
Sweet seventeen, young soul 
              G 
A girl that I used to hold 
              C 
Drink after drink, glass after glass 
            Am                         F G 
Paper-thin walls, she just might crack
