Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Verse 1
Just keep repeating this progression up until the chorus. The strumming pattern changes
halfway through, but it's very easy to catch.
Just so you know you're the one and only reason
I haven't left this dead-end town.
Not that the others aren't important
but compared to you they're always letting me down.
And yes, I do know what I am missing.
I still want to get out of here
Sometime soon, but it's the presence of you
that keeps me from regretting this year.
(Continue same progression)
And If you don't know what to say, don't say anything at all.
Just know I made my own mistake. I took a risk and took a fall.
Now these walls are closing in, and as I'm trying to escape,
I'm so afraid this time away has pulled the life from me.
Chorus
So maybe you could stay
for just a few more days.
You mean so much to me,
it's hard to even explain.
When you're gone I'll fall asleep by your picture,
although it's never near enough.
I'll sing this song when I am dying,
and I'll hold you close when times get tough.
Whoas - Same as chorus
Verse 2
Same as verse 1
Any time you need me, you know that I'll be here.
I'll try my best to help you and I'll wipe away those tears.
And all that I ask in return is just stay by my side.
I'll forgive your weaknesses if you look past mine.
Repeat chorus
Repeat "Whoas" x2
End with Intro.
