Thrice – Stay With Me (Guitar)

           E
You were a silhouette, shimmering shadow in the

G#m
mirror with ash and snow

            E                                      G#m
I took your fevered hands, felt like embers of the world's dying glow

             E
And you were featherlike as I carried you quietly through the

G#m
crumbling streets

           E                                                  G#m
And in the fading light I could see in your eyes that somehow we were meant to meet

A
Would you stay with me

C#m                        B
If you thought the war was over

                    A
And everything made right?

A
Would you still believe in us?

    C#m                         B
And would your love for me grow colder

                    A
With no one left to fight?

                    E   F#m     A       
Would you stay with me?

                    E   F#m     A
Would you stay with me?

          E     
After the fever left, together we scavaged through the 

G#m
city and her scars

             E  
And when the day would end, by the door against the 

G#m
demons and the dark

             E                                         G#m
We'd share a can of something, a bottle of bourbon I'd hid away

          E                                     
It warmed me from within and you from without

        G#m
Till I forget the chilling grief

A
Would you stay with me

C#m                        B
If you thought the war was over

                    A
And everything made right?

A
Would you still believe in us?

    C#m                         B
And would your love for me grow colder

                    A
With no one left to fight?

                    E   F#m     A
Would you stay with me?

                    E   F#m     A
Would you stay with me?

                  B     C#m
Oh, it seems like every night

    A                             B           C#m      A
You lie in bed and worry that the world would start to heal

        B    C#m
Now I'm terrified

     A                               B       C#m     A
That if it did you'd start to ask if what we have is real

A
Would you stay with me

C#m                        B
If you thought the war was over

                    A
And everything made right?

A
Would you still believe in us?

    C#m                         B
And would your love for me grow colder

                    A
With no one left to fight?

                    E   F#m     A
Would you stay with me?

                    E   F#m     A
Would you stay with me?
