 F                               C  
 You did the best that you could do.
 G                     
 You were a great crew,
 F                                     
 who tried to nurture and preserve your
 G            
 faith in you.
 F                         C 
 And with the bureau chiefs
 G                      
 and the shrugging spies
 F                    G  
 You could stay, but why.
 
 G 
  
 C                               
 You see a light and then another
 F                            
 and everything you fought for
          C         
 naught's uncovered.
 You're not a fighter, you're a lover.
                     Am              
 You got no business in here, brother
       F    G 
 so... stay.
 Stay.

 F                              C  
 Is it the worst that you could do?
 G                    
 You were a great you,
 F                                     
 who tried to nurture and preserve your
 G

 G                      
 and the shrugging spies
 F                  G   
 you could stay and why.
 
 C                                      
 Cause you see a light and then another.
 F                         
 Everything you thought you
          C         
 sought's uncovered.
 You're a fighter and a lover
                       Am       
 and there's no one up above her
       F    G 
 so ...stay.
 Stay.

 All things being balanced,
                          C        
 it's balanced and called balancing
                             F         
 somewhere beyond everything it's being
 balanced not for the
                     C                
 sake of balance but balancing between
 the throes of learning
         Bb          
 and the entire thing
         C 
 entirely
 Bb        
 balancing.
