[Verse 1]
E A
Say it's not so
E2 D# C#sus4 B A
Say your heart it wrote me letters all the time
E E3 D# C#sus4 B D
Say it sealed them up and with your breath did sign
E
Them all away
[Verse 2]
E A
Say that your notes
E2 D# C#sus4 B A
They were no forgery, you meant them every line
E E2 D# C#sus4 B A
Some in meter, some in verse, and some in rhyme
E
Tell me you meant every word
[Post-Chorus 1]
B A
You could cut my knees and leave me at the door
B A
I'd still pick all your memories off our dusty floor
B A
If you'd stay
B A
If you'd stay
[Chorus]
E3 D# C#sus4 B A E
Darling, just a little while
E3 D# C#sus4 B A E
Darling, just a little while
E3 D# C#sus4 B A E
Darling, just a little while
[Verse 3]
E A
Tell me how you are
E2 D# C#sus4 B A
And I'll write a song for every feeling I can't name
E E2 D# C#sus4 B A
Like we were dancing in a fucking blood ballet
E
It was a massacre
[Verse 4]
B
How'd you get away?
A B A
'Cause oh, good heavens we abided by the night
B A
But there are darker things than the absence of light
B A
And they still creak through our halls
[Post-Chorus 2]
B A
I would build a city out of you and me
B A
There would be crime, but still a local grocery
B A
If you'd stay
B A
If you'd stay
[Chorus]
E3 D# C#sus4 B A E
Darling, just a little while
E3 D# C#sus4 B A E
Darling, just a little while
E3 D# C#sus4 B A E
Darling, just a little while
