Stay With Me

Intro

C  Dm  F
        C  Em
           C
You were a silhouette  shimmering shadow in the
Em
mirror with ash and snow
            C                                      Em
I took your fevered hands  felt like embers of the world's dying glow
             C
And you were featherlike as I carried you quietly through the
Em
crumbling streets
           C                                                  Em
And in the fading light I could see in your eyes that somehow we were meant to meet
( F  Am  C  Dm )
( F  Am  G  F )
F
Would you stay with me
Am                        C
If you thought the war was over
                    Dm
And everything made right?
F
Would you still believe in us?
    Am                         G
And would your love for me grow colder
                    F
With no one left to fight?
( C  Dm  F )
                    C   Dm     F
Would you stay with me?
                    C   Dm     F
Would you stay with me?
( C  Em )
          C
After the fever left  together we scavenged through the
Em
city and her scars
             C
And when the day would end  by the door against the
Em
demons and the dark
             C                                         Em
We'd share a can of something  a bottle of bourbon I'd hid away
          C
It warmed me from within and you from without
        Em
Till I forget the chilling grief
( F  Am  C  Dm )
( F  Am  G  F )
F
Would you stay with me
Am                        C
If you thought the war was over
                    Dm
And everything made right?
F
Would you still believe in us?
    Am                         G
And would your love for me grow colder
                    F
With no one left to fight?
( C  Dm  F )
                    C   Dm     F
Would you stay with me?
                    C   Dm     F
Would you stay with me?
F  Am  C  Dm  F  Am  G  F
                  F     Am
Oh  it seems like every night
    C                             Dm           F      Am
You lie in bed and worry that the world would start to heal
        F    Am
Now I'm terrified
     C                               Dm       F     Am
That if it did you'd start to ask if what we have is real
( F  Am  C  Dm )
( F  Am  G  F )

And would your love for me grow colder
                    F
