I found my fickle friend out in the alley way.
F
He said "You don't look so good."
C
I said "Hey, Doc, that's great."
F C G Em C
"You started practicing, I never got the note."
Dm C G C
So let’s shake and trade and be on our way.
F C F C
Let's go go go.
F C
So here we are again, inside your neon shrine.
F C
Sharing a chopping block beneath embarrassed light.
F C G Em C
That tries to hide from us, it tucks itself away.
Dm C G C
So we both grab hold and say "No you don't."
F C F C
Just stay, just stay.
F
The morning's hot and harsh.
C
My notebook fills itself.
F
The words come thick with sweat.
C
But it feels like someone else
F C
Is writing all of this.
G Em C
Someone I just can't believe
Dm C G C F C F C C/B
So I mop my brow, set my pen back down. Still me, still me.
C Am
And I'm grabbing at a feeling now
C G
That I can't ever name.
C Am
Some sign posted to remind me
C G
How I wanted things this way.
F C
She says "It's pretty but you hate yourself."
C C/B C
"I can hear it clear as day."
C
And I say "I sing like this,
C/B C
It sounds worse than it is."
I'm okay, okay.
F C
I'm okay, okay.
F C
I'm okay, okay.
F C
I'm okay, okay.
F C
So just stay, just stay
F C
So just stay, just stay
F C
I'm okay, okay.
F C
So just stay, just stay,
F C
Just stay, just stay.
