Just Stay

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.
F               C
Ohhhhh, Whoa, Whoa oh oh
F               C
Ohhhhh, Whoa, Whoa oh oh
F               C
Ohhhhh, Whoa, Whoa oh oh
F               C
Ohhhhh, Whoa, Whoa oh whoa.
F               C
Oh Whoa, oh Whoa.
F               C
Oh Whoa, oh Whoa.
F               C
Oh Whoa, oh Whoa.
F               C
Oh Whoa, oh Whoa.
