Stay Tab

by Gavin Degraw


**Note: Gavin does something interesting at the end of his choruses in this song. Rather
the traditional and expected IV-V-I harmonic resolution, he leaves us on the minor ii
Upon listening to the track, you will notice that neither the  Major chord 
 nor the  Major chord (V)[/ch] quite fit in that spot. Also, I couldn't
out how to get the chords in the right spots over the words, but this is not a
song to pick up so you'll figure it out after a few tries.

Stay
Music and Lyrics by Gavin Degraw

Verse 1:
			   	           
You don’t have to be part of the problem
			
I just need a second chance
			
I just need a second chance
			       	          	
Instead of leaving me standing in sorrow
			     
I know that you’ll understand
			      
I’m hoping you’ll understand

Pre-Chorus:
	        	      
I know that I was wrong
	
But just don’t walk away

Chorus:
		  
Oh, won’t you stay
		     	
I need you, need you here
		      
When you’re with me
		     
All others disappear
		
I’ll follow close
		
So close I’ll almost touch
		
I need your love

But it never hurt this much

Verse 2:
					
I don’t want to be someone who’s searching
		        
I finally met someone
		       
I finally met someone
			       		      
And there’s a couple of things I’m still learning
		     
Just gotta figure out
				
But you need someone who knows

Pre-Chorus:
	      	     
I came to you tonight

But now you’re just walking away

Chorus:
		  
Oh, won’t you stay
		     	
I need you, need you here
		      
When you’re with me
		     
All others disappear
		
I’ll follow close
		
So close I’ll almost touch
		
I need your love

But it never hurt this much

Bridge:
			       			
Don’t get caught up in it feeling off course today
						      
You could take a minute before you go slipping away
	     
I know I took some time
		
But I realize my mistake

Pre-Chorus:
				       
You don’t have to be part of the problem

I just need a second chance

Chorus:
		  
Oh, won’t you stay
		     	
I need you, need you here
		      
When you’re with me
		     
All others disappear
		
I’ll follow close
		
So close I’ll almost touch
		
I need your love

But it never hurt this much
				
I need your loving arms tonight

But it never hurt this much

Coda:
					
You don’t have to be part of the problem
			
I just need a second chance
