A G
Will this night fulfill all the promises
A G
And bury us in peace?
A G
Will it leave us free and forgetful?
A G
Or at least bring some sleep?
D Em
Your eyes don't catch the little things
D Em
As they narrow on your fault
D Em
I'm checkin' your pulse, 'cuz you're so quiet
D Em
I'm kissin' you, but you don't feel it
G A
Why'd you do this to me?
G A
Showin' me that all I'm good for
D Em
Is to watch you sleep
D Em
As lifeless as an angel
A G
She was the most beautiful cloud
A G
That ever passed before the face of girl
A G
Seems like nothing's too good for this life
A G
Yeah, some things are too good for this world
D Em
And our names and our faces
D Em
Amount to just spare change
D Em
The memory of us all
D Em
Kept droppin' spare change
G A
Why won't you stay?
G A
Why won't you stay?
G A
Why won't you stay?
G A
Why--- won't you stay, hey?
(Instrumental)
D D Em Em D D G G
A G
A memory of a little girl
A G
Who was far too much in love with the world
A G
And who really didn't wanna stick around for the end
A G
Why won't you stay?
A G
Why won't you stay?
A G
Why won't you stay?
A G
Why won't you stay?
end on D.
