Hayes Carll – I Will Stay (Guitar)

C                      C/B
I have seen you at the window

           Am          Am/G
I've heard you at the door

     F
I've felt the world convince you

          G
You could even up the score

            C             C/B
Watched you carry all the mem'ries

     Am              Am/G
Of a life that came before

          G
Then went away

F/G        C
But I will stay

C                  C/B
I remember how you told me

            Am             Am/G
You felt it all might fall apart

          F
You barely made it into this world

                 G
And you've been fighting from the start

         C         C/B
It's not easy to believe

      Am               Am/G
But I will protect your heart

         F     G
In every way

       C
I will stay

C    C/B        A        C
Warm rain on the water

        C/B        Am
A lone star in the night

C     C/B            Am
Brave dreams to hold on to

             G
It will be alright

         C              C/B
And it's hard to keep believing

        Am                  Am/G
All the stories you've been told

       F
And to watch the way you try, babe

     G
Is a sight to behold

        C                  C/B
And sometimes you will get angry

        Am                 Am/G
And sometimes you will get cold

            F     F/G
But that's okay

       C
I will stay

          Em
There's a ghost in every garden

      Am
And a lock on every door

    F
And all of them remind you

       G
Of the ones who came before

          Em
There's a pain in every mem'ry

          Am      Am/G          F
You don't have to hold no more

        C             C/B
Now the summer sun is fading

        Am
And the autumn's in the hall

       F
And if time would just stop moving

           F/G
It wouldn't bother you at all

         C              C/B
But your story isn't finished

        Am              Am/G
You got so much more to say

            F         G
And I can't wait

          F      G
So I will stay

       C
I will stay
