[INTRO]
F C Am G F
F C Am G F
[VERSE 1]
F C
I'm no good at making small talk
Am G F
But do you mind if I sit down
F C
In the end it was a long shot
Am G F
And I could use another round
F C
I don't mean to be too bold
Am G F
No it's not at all like me
F C
But when you're making your way home
Am G F
Would you like some company
[CHORUS]
G Am F
'Cause oh I'm tired of sleeping on my own
G Am F
And oh I've such long way to go
C G Am G C F
And you remind me of somebody I know
C G C
Can I stay with you a while
[INTERLUDE]
F C Am G F
[VERSE 2]
F C
Whiskey eyelids weigh me down some
Am G F
When our smoke filled talk comes to a close
F C
And it's these moments where my mind runs
Am G F
From the emptiness of open roads
[CHORUS]
G Am F
'Cause oh I'm tired of sleeping on my own
G Am F
And oh I've such long way to go
C G Am G C F
And you remind me of somebody I know
C G C Em
Can I stay with you a while
[BRIDGE]
Em F
Come tomorrow I'll be gone again
C G F
So don't ask me for much
Em F
I'm no good at keeping promises
Dm F G
I promise this is enough
[CHORUS]
G Am F
'Cause oh I'm tired of sleeping on my own
G Am F G
And oh it'S such a goddamn lonely road
Am F
And I'm sleeping alone
C G Am G C F
But you remind me of somebody I know
C G Am F
Can I stay with you a while
C G Am G C F
'Cause you remind me of someplace I call home
C G C
Can I stay with you a while
