Am

C C/G Am
Hell on earth ain't hard to find

C C/G Am
But you can save me from mine

C C/G Am
Stop the time's bayonet

C C/G Am
From stabbing all that's delicate

C C/G Am
I won't be afraid of growing old

C C/G Am
If I have your hand to hold

C C/G Am
I'm looking for eternity

C C/G Am
Will you find it with me


Chorus:

Dm F C Gno5
Please, stay awhile

Dm F C Gno5
Show me how to smile

Dm F C Gno5
Please, stay awhile

C C/G Am
I am not a great man

C C/G Am
But I'll give you all I can

C C/G Am
I'll be the lashes on your eyes

C C/G Am
Catch every tear that you cry


Chorus:

Dm F C G
Please, stay awhile

Dm F C G
Show me how to smile

Dm F C G
Please, stay awhile


Dm
Let's fill this room with empty coffee cups

F C G
so we don't ever have to go to sleep

Dm
Because if I close my eyes

F C G
I fear tomorrow won't let this day repeat


Dm
My life's been filled with turned out lights

F C G
haunted by the hurt of closing doors



Dm
Let's turn the locks and lose the keys

F C G
I don't want them open anymore (anymore)

Dm
Well I see you in an antique wedding gown

F C
and me slowly walking down the aisle

G
Can you see us now?


Dm
And won't you be the mother of my child

F C
I can see you every time she smiles

G
I love your smile

Dm F C G
So please, stay awhile

Dm F C G
Please stay, awhile
