[Verse 1]
Am C G D x2
C Em
I remember I was singing about September
G D
When you walked across the boardwalk to that smoky bar
C Em
And I'd been singing for the last six nights
G D
And I could barely talk to tell you just how pretty you were
C Em
But you were as pretty as a preachers wife on Sunday
G D
And I was useless like a church bell on a Friday night
C Em
I felt like a tragedy all dressed in dirty clothes
G D
When you walked out before I could say
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Am
How when you stopped in
C
And the world stopped spinning
G D
I gotta let you know
Am
Just how I've become an artist
C
And how things fall apart
G D
Its the only thing I know
[Chorus]
D Am Em
Won't you just stay here
Em G D
Would you just stay here
Am C
Won't you just stay here
C G D
We can just stay here
[Verse 2]
C Em
Spent the whole next night on the telephone
G D
We were both alone and waiting on a change
C Em
And I remember I felt as suave as a prom date
G D
15 minutes late in a rented suit and his mothers car
C Em
The next night was a Monday and you came over to my house
G D
We hardly talked about anything, but it never got quiet until we
C Em
Kissed our first of many and the clock hands took reprieve
G D
From the round the clock labor of their day to day
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am
Cause when you stopped in
C
And the world stopped spinning
G D
I've gotta let you know
Am C
That I know it will I don't know when that time will matter again
G D
But I don't want to let you go
[Chorus]
D Am Em
Won't you just stay here
Em G D
Would you just stay here
Am C
Won't you just stay here
C G D
We can just stay here
[Musical break]
C Em G D G D
C Em
I was thinking I'd swing by sometime around midnight
G D
Turn my headlights off when I get near
C Em
Lets say you and me, we get the hell out of this town
G D
Cause we're the only thing that ever happened here
C Em
I've got 50 dollars and if we ride with the windows down
G D
And I screen my smokes I think we'll make it into Georgia
C
And we'll improvise from there
Em
Everybody know from here
G D
That you canât go to hell without passing through Atlanta first
C
I'll find a dead end job and
Em
Try to write a dead end song
G D
Just thoughtless enough to make the radio
C
And we'll drink wine like water
Em
As if we had a sorrow to drown
G D
If that don't work it's alright baby
Am Em
We can just stay here
Em G D
We can just stay here
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Am
Because when you stopped in
C
And the world stopped spinning
G D
I gotta let you know
Am
Just how I've become an artist
C
At how things fall apart
G D
Its the only thing I know
[Chorus]
D Am Em
Won't you just stay here
C G D
Would you just stay here
Am C
Won't you just stay here
C G D
We can just lay here
[Bridge]
D Am C
We can just stay here
C G D
We can just stay here
D Am C
We can get away dear
C G D
We can just lay here
[Outro]
C Em
I remember I was singing about September
G D
When you walked across the boardwalk to that smoky bar
