The main guitar riff is fairly simple and is just a play off of the chords Bm and Em.
Mostly just moving around your pinky finger gets the job done.

[Verse]
Bm
Where did the money go?
Bm
I'll love you even when you're poor
Em
You don't mean anything
Em
You don't mean anything you say
Bm
Don't think my love's in vain
Bm
I heard you calling out my name
Em
You don't love anyone
Em
You don't love anyone
[Pre-Chorus]
A
But midnight's on its way
Bm
and there's so much I'll never say
F#
And all the streetlights flicker endlessly
Bm
And steal my heart away, so wont you
[Chorus]

Stay with me, stay with me
B
I don't need you
Em
I just want you here with me
Em
Nights like these
A F#
Come and go so needlessly
[Verse]
Bm
Where did your good times go?
Bm
You used to chase me from your door
Em
You don't know anything
Em
You don't know anything I'm sure
Bm
I know enough to see
Bm
That you need anyone but me
Em
You don't hear anything
Em
You never hear a word
[Pre-Chorus]
A
I say you must believe me
Bm
Do your lonely eyes deceive me?
F#
Did the moonlight have to leave me
Bm
In this cold and vacant way?
[Chorus]
D
Wont you stay with me, stay with me
B
I don't need you
Em
I just heard you'd wait for me
A F#
Endlessly naming every street for me
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Blue light fuels the daze
Bm
Of all those promises you made
F#
And every love struck scene on silver screen
Bm
Pulls me right back in
[Chorus]
D
So wont you stay with me, stay with me
B
I don't need you,
Em
I just heard you'd wait for me
A F#
Endlessly naming every street for me
D
Stay with me stay with me
B
I don't need you
Em
I just want you here with me
Em
Nights like these
A F#
Come and go so endlessly

That's it! Jon does some miscellaneous riffing particular in the pre-chorus and during the instrumental
breaks. Those can be worked out another time! Hope you like!
