[Verse 1] N.C. The first time I got muddy I was a young boy ten years old That got lost in the woods in the middle of the night, in the dark and rainy cold Young and damp a summer camp I was a funny little sleepwalker I didn't think to tie myself to that oak tree before I fell asleep When I stood up that night not knowing all of the while Where I would end up when I wake up having slept-walked for a mile I found myself running barefoot almost naked through those trees I was in my underwear with branches slapping on my face and knees [Verse 2]

E
I ran on top the rocks wet cedar thorns and moss

G#m
Feeling nothing then the moon rose up and I realized I was lost

B
Then nowhere close to home for the first time I was alone

Then the lightning struck and the thunder shook and I called out for my mom

E
Give me some attention and that's what I yelled into the night

G#m
Please come down and help me, show me sympathetic light

B
Cause I need someone close to me if only for a minute

I'm not afraid of the dark I'm just scared of what's in it [Chorus]

             E   G#m               B
Stay with me          Stay with me

             E   G#m               B
Stay with me          Stay with me

[Verse 3]

E
I had a dream last night that someone was taking my air from me

G#m
Creating ten times as many problems as any human could solve

B
They said you don't try hard enough and shoes don't always come in pairs

They love you when you make them look good but despise you behind closed doors

E
And with vague goals and deep cracks it told me I can do better than that

G#m
Living in the shadow of someone's light that won't turn on

B
You see misery isn't everything and I'm still learning that

Just give me the chance to turn my light back on [Chorus]

             E   G#m               B
Stay with me          Stay with me

             E   G#m               B
Stay with me          Stay with me

[Bridge]

C#m    B
In the words of my father

E                    A
Yes I'm good enough, yes I'm good enough

C#m       B
Light the heart of my father

E                    A
Yes I'm good enough, yes I'm good enough

C#m B     E     A
Oh  woah, ohhhh woah

         C#m                     B
With the hope and strength of an ocean tide

[Chorus]

N.C.         E   G#m               B
Stay with me          Stay with me

             E
Stay with me, yes, I'm good enough, yes, I'm good enough

G#m          B                                           E
Stay with me, yes, I'm good enough, yes, I'm good enough
