Chords

As recorded by Jesse Welles (2025 release) [Verse 1]
      C
Every wish every desire

      F                 C
Every pain that's in my heart

            C
I blew them all away the day

    G              E7
I namasted myself apart

         Am               C
Sweating men with bulging eyes

        F               C
Came in bearing lies to give

           C
At first I was afraid to die

        G                   E7
Now I'm scared that I might live
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Stay with me

G
Stay with me
[Chorus]
        C
For the day is passed

C
And the evening's come

         G             E7
Be my companion in the way

 Am               C
Accept the things you cannot

    G                   E7
And things that you can change

      Am            C
It'll be the way it is

     G                     C
This and not some other way
[Verse 2]
C
In the mornin when I wake up

           F            C
I'm afraid that I might die

C
So I try and stay awake

           G          E7
And I keep a watchful eye

           Am                  C
In the fog of war we've burned alive

           F          C
The saints along with sinners

C
I will be with you today in paradise

           G           E7
If I don't come in for dinner
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Stay with me

G
Stay with me
[Chorus]
        C
For the day is passed

        F         C
And the evening's come

         G             E7
Be my companion in the way

 Am               C
Accept the things you cannot

    G                   E7
And things that you can change

      Am            C
It'll be the way it is

     G                  C
This and not some other way
[Verse 3]
C
I watch no one fight for nothing

        F          C
Against 20 godless fiends

C
You could fill a man to the brim with gold

            G                 E7
And there'd still be room for greed

     Am                     C
So I rent a mind and borrow words

               F                 
For thoughts I cannot say

C
This will be the way it is

             G              
This and not some other way

E7               Am     C
This will be the way it is

             G          C
This and not some other way
