Like Lightning

Bb

[Chorus]
Bb            Eb         Bb
Stay with me, oh sweet clarity
F                 Eb
  Certainty like lightning
Bb            Eb   Bb
  Companionship a rarity
    F                Eb
Oh stay with me, my clarity

[Verse 1]
F             F/E   F         F/E
  Of an evening so far afield
F       Eb     Bb/D
  A firefly he guided
F            F/E     F           
  In deepest dark he made our way
 F/E

F            Eb    Bb/D
  Then on my arm alighted

Stay with me, oh sweet clarity

  Certainty like lightning

[Bridge]
     Bb                       
The light on the wall from the 
  Eb                  Bb
dormer through the shade
      Eb         Bb
Was slatted, agitated
    Eb                     Dm
It drew him to and he could see his 
grave
    Db        Ab         Bb     
And all the streetlamps faded---
Eb    Bb   Eb

     Bb             Eb
The last one ended candidly: He said
Bb                      Eb
"In love you don't fear dying"
    Db                         
And she said, "It's only that I 
  Ab
loved you so
   Bb             Eb
I know you to be lying"
  Bb    Eb
Mmm----

[Verse 2]
F          F/E      F            F/E
  In the hedges we heard a sound
F              F/E     Bb/D
  A black-eyed dog to haunt you
F         F/E             F     
  But the worst of that's over 
    F/E
now
F        F/E         Bb/D
  We can go where we want to


[Chorus]
Bb            Eb         Bb
Stay with me, oh sweet clarity
F                 Eb
  Certainty like lightning
Db                Ab
  Companionship a rarity
    Bb                Eb
Oh stay with me, my clarity
  Bb    Eb
Mmm----
