The first time I got muddy I was a young boy ten years old That got lost in the woods in the middle of the night, in the dark and rainy cold Young and damp a summer camp I was a funny little sleepwalker I didn't think to tie myself to that oak tree before I fell asleep When I stood up that night not knowing all of the while Where I would end up when I wake up having slept-walked for a mile I found myself running barefoot almost naked through those trees I was in my underwear with branches slapping on my face and knees [Verse 2]E I ran on top the rocks wet cedar thorns and mossG#m Feeling nothing then the moon rose up and I realized I was lostB Then nowhere close to home for the first time I was alone Then the lightning struck and the thunder shook and I called out for my momE Give me some attention and that's what I yelled into the nightG#m Please come down and help me, show me sympathetic lightB Cause I need someone close to me if only for a minuteContinues after the adI'm not afraid of the dark I'm just scared of what's in it [Chorus]E G#m B Stay with me Stay with meE G#m B Stay with me Stay with me [Verse 3]E I had a dream last night that someone was taking my air from meG#m Creating ten times as many problems as any human could solveB They said you don't try hard enough and shoes don't always come in pairs They love you when you make them look good but despise you behind closed doorsE And with vague goals and deep cracks it told me I can do better than thatG#m Living in the shadow of someone's light that won't turn onB You see misery isn't everything and I'm still learning that Just give me the chance to turn my light back on [Chorus]E G#m B Stay with me Stay with meE G#m B Stay with me Stay with me [Bridge]C#m B In the words of my fatherE A Yes I'm good enough, yes I'm good enoughC#m B Light the heart of my fatherE A Yes I'm good enough, yes I'm good enoughC#m B E A Oh woah, ohhhh woahC#m With the hope and strength of anB ocean tide [Chorus] N.C. E G#m B Stay with me Stay with meE Stay with me, yes, I'm good enough, yes, I'm good enoughG#m B Stay with me, yes, I'm goodE enough, yes, I'm good enough
