Dm             G
Funny how time slips away

Dm                                       G
Looking at the cracks creeping across my face

Dm                        G
I remember the little kid living in here

Dm                                      G
He'll be living here probably until I'm dead.

F
Please don't leave me, baby

C                         Dm G
Please don't leave me yet.
[Verse 2]
Dm                                       G
Sitting in a box away from the world out there

Dm                            G
A world piled high with boxes just like this

Dm                                      G
But please don't ever leave me alone in here

Dm                                             G
Take me out, shake off the dust, shake off the fear.

F
Please don't leave me, baby

C                          Dm G
Please don't leave me yet.
[Chorus]
   F
If you stay with me

                                  C
That don't mean we gotta stay the same

   F
If you stay with me

                                       C
Well baby, you and me we'll change the game
[Interlude] Dm G [Verse 3]
Dm             G
Well I don't know the man that's livin' in my head

Dm             G
'til you reach down and bring the light back in

Dm             G
No, I don't know the man that's living in my head

Dm             G
If I don't know the woman sleeping in my bed.

F
Remember how we used to kiss, baby

C                         Dm  G
Kiss like it was everything?

F
Remember how we used to love, baby

C
Love like it was everything?

Bb
You stay with me

                                    F
That don't mean we have to stay the same

   Bb
If you stay with me

                                       F
Well baby, you and me we'll change the game
You stay with me
                                  C
I'll follow you and we can start again, baby
[Interlude] Dm G [Verse 4]
Dm                            G
I only got a minute or two to spare

Dm                                 G
And I gotta whole damn life to fit in there

Dm                                 G
So why waste time staring at the T.V. set?

Dm                                   G
Like I got dreams to kill and people to forget

F
Remember how we used to dance, baby

C
Just like it was everything?

Bb
You stay with me

                                    F
That don't mean we have to stay the same

   Bb
If you stay with me

                              F
Baby, you and me can make the change
You stay with me But that don't mean I wanna stay the same [Coda] C B G F# D C# A G# E D# B Bb F# F C# C G# G Eb D Bb A F You stay with me
