CHORDS IN THIS SONG

Shapes with capo 5
  • C×
  • F
  • Am×
  • G

Tap any chord in the song to see its shape. The boxes are drawn right-handed; Lefty flips them, which is how I actually play. Use − and + to move the whole song into a key that suits your voice, or tap Capo 5 to see the real chords with no capo.

Verse 1

What could stop your tears?

You're wasting them for someone else

What could bottle up your fears?

Filling up this room

Does it have to be so?

Why not play the hand you're dealt

The one standing in looking out

Most memories aren't worth keeping

They're tossing you about

Stay with me tonight, if we can leave the past behind

Stay here for one, maybe I can be your best friend

Once again

Verse 2

Stop changing your way to fit the mood

Lost in the process of losing you

Don't dig the ditch in someone else's bed

Does it have to be so?

Stay with me tonight, if we can leave the past behind

Stay here for one last night, maybe I can be your best friend

Once again

Bridge

Repeat verse loud jam

Outro

I will always love you

I will always be true

Stay with me one night

Tomorrow you'll see this in a different light

Stay one last night

Stay one last night
