“Stay With Me” by Thrice
Standard Tuning
No Capo
[Intro]
E F#m A
-1st Verse-
E
You were a silhouette, shimmering shadow in the
G#m
mirror with ash and snow
E G#m
I took your fevered hands, felt like embers of the world's dying glow
E
And you were featherlike as I carried you quietly through the
G#m
crumbling streets
E G#m
And in the fading light I could see in your eyes that somehow we were meant to meet
-PreChorus-
A
Would you stay with me
C#m B
If you thought the war was over
A
And everything made right?
A
Would you still believe in us?
C#m B
And would your love for me grow colder
A
With no one left to fight?
-Chorus-
E F#m A
Would you stay with me?
E F#m A
Would you stay with me?
-2nd Verse-
E
After the fever left, together we scavaged through the
G#m
city and her scars
E
And when the day would end, by the door against the
G#m
demons and the dark
E G#m
We'd share a can of something, a bottle of bourbon I'd hid away
E
It warmed me from within and you from without
G#m
Till I forget the chilling grief
-PreChorus-
A
Would you stay with me
C#m B
If you thought the war was over
A
And everything made right?
A
Would you still believe in us?
C#m B
And would your love for me grow colder
A
With no one left to fight?
-Chorus-
E F#m A
Would you stay with me?
E F#m A
Would you stay with me?
-Bridge-
B C#m
Oh, it seems like every night
A B C#m A
You lie in bed and worry that the world would start to heal
B C#m
Now I'm terrified
A B C#m A
That if it did you'd start to ask if what we have is real
-PreChorus-(loud)
A
Would you stay with me
C#m B
If you thought the war was over
A
And everything made right?
A
Would you still believe in us?
C#m B
And would your love for me grow colder
A
With no one left to fight?
-Chorus-
E F#m A
Would you stay with me?
E F#m A
Would you stay with me?
