Stay This Way

Dm Eb

[Verse]
Gm
Things aren't working out like they're supposed to,
                             Bb
But at least they're working out
       Cm
If you ask yourself if anything is meaningful,
                                   Bb
You'll find that everything is no doubt
         Cm
Call it lack of inspiration,
                           Bb
Resignation, stupid or immature
         Eb                        F
You can only do as much in little time,
          Eb                             F
If you're up for sharing I can split up mine

[Chorus]
                     Bb  Dm Eb  Bb
'Cause it makes me happy

Dm Eb

[Verse]
Cm
I've been up and down
And out and in
                            Bb
And everything that's in between
Continues after the ad
             Cm
And in my ridicule I thought that I was something special,
                       Bb
In spite of ordinary dreams
         Eb                             Cm                   Bb
But you end up getting tired of doing psychoanalysis of yourself
         Eb                        F
You can only do as much in little time,
          Eb                              F
If you're up for sharing, I can split up mine.

[Chorus]
                    Bb
'Cause it makes me happy
               Dm   Eb  Bb
(Why can't it stay this way?)
              Gm
I don't wanna go back,
              Eb
I don't wanna move on
Bb             Dm   Eb  Bb
(Why can't it stay this way?)
               Gm
I don't wanna grow old,
               Eb
I don't wanna stay young

[Chorus]
Bb             Dm   Eb  Bb
(Why can't it stay this way?)
              Gm
I don't wanna go back,
               Eb
I don't wanna move on

Bb             Dm   Eb  Bb
(Why can't it stay this way?)
               Gm
I don't wanna grow old,
               Eb
I don't wanna stay young

I don't wanna know you,
            F
Not like I used to know people
                Bb
I don't wanna change you,
            Gm
Not like I used to change people
                  Cm     Eb
I just want to have you here
