Alkaline Trio – Stay (Guitar)

C                                             G    C G
Things have been getting pretty rough around here.

C                       Em
No coffee cups flying 'round the room,

       G                 C
just daggers born from tears.

C                            D
Let's try to crawl out from under our breath

             G              Em
We can never break up so I love you to death.

         C                                                D
The man i've become was so comfortably dumb, i believe you could mean it but you're not having fun

              G  C  D
and I'm sorry.

C                                       G  C G
I learned to breathe i guess some time ago,

C                     Em             G                C
but just recently i learned what it means to take it slow.

C                D              G             Em
i'm lousy with excuses and you know i love to swear,

       C
so goddamnit i'll swear to whatever's out there

        D
that i love you more now than i ever have

G               C
so let's pick another day

     D
to call it quits and walk away,

G                C              D
let's find some other time to break down

G                        C
the storm has gone and blown on through,

       G                   D
shake off the darkness and i will too

G                   C               F
you might leave me still, but not today

     D                G  C  D
for now, can we just stay?

              G  C  D
can we just stay?

C                                   G  C G
you would think by now that i'd be fine

C                               Em
you know like really stretching out

G                   C
but it would all be lies

C                   D                G
i'm no longer in control of my own shoes

           Em
there they go

          C
quickly running out of booze

             D
drinking to kill myself just to live without you

        C                    D
over there, where i still stared sometime

G               C
so let's pick another day

     D
to call it quits and walk away,

G                C              D
let's find some other time to break down

G                        C
the storm has gone and blown on through,

       G                   D
shake off the darkness and i will too

G                   C               F
you might leave me still, but not today

     D                G  C  D
for now, can we just stay?

              G  C  D
can we just stay?

    D                 G  C  D
For now can we just stay?

                      G  
For now can we just stay?
