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.
