[Intro] Em [Verse 1]
Em
I'm on watch here

    D                   G
So close your eyes and get some rest

   C                    Em
I'm here to watch your heart

          C               Em
It's been faulty from the start

        Bm           C
I'm the ribs in your chest

Em
I'm not an angel

   D              G
I never mean to make you cry

C                  Em
Jumping through my hoops

        C              Em
With dissension in the troops

      Bm          C
And a smile and a sigh

Bm                     Am
What's that over your shoulder

Bm              Am
Fear of getting older
[Chorus]
Em   C    G    D
Stay with me
[Verse 2]
Em
Sing me a love song

          D                 G
From your heart or from the phone book

         C         Em
It don't matter to me

       C                 Em
I'm an apple you're the tree

        Bm               C
I won't fall when you're shook

Bm                    Am
What's that over your shoulder

Bm              Am
Fear of getting older
[Chorus]
Em   C    G   D
Stay with me
[Post-Chorus]
C     Am    Em
la lala lala

C     Am    Em
la lala lala
[Bridge]
   C           D
It ends with a kiss

   D           Em
It ends with a tear

   Em            G
It ends with the lights out

G             C
Bathed in our fear

C          D
Tell me nonsense

D            Em
I don't want sincere

Em          G
I saw the lightning

G               C           D          Em
Cut through the last winter sky of the year
[Chorus]
Em   C    G   D
Stay with me

Em   C    G   D
Keep with me
[Post-Chorus]
C     Am    Em
la lala lala

C     Am    Em
la lala lala

C     Am    Em
la lala lala

C     Am    Em
la lala lala
Em
