[Verse 1]
A F#m
Hey now baby, you're looking for a place to sleep.
D E A
The night is cold, the city's big; You're in trouble deep.
F#m
Something tells me: You shouldn't be the lonely one.
D E A
I'll make you mine, make you feel you're the only one.
[Chorus]
D E A
And I say: Why, why, why don't you keep me company?
D E A
I try, try, try not to be in the way.
G Bm A
I could help to end this misery.
D E G A G A
Oh why, why, why don't you let me stay?
[Verse 2]
F#m
All those people, putting on a weary face.
D E A
Turn away as if to say: It's a real disgrace.
F#m
Don't be shy now, take a step into the light.
D E A
I'll feed your heart, feed your soul to your appetite.
[Chorus]
D E A
And I say: Why, why, why don't you keep me company?
D E A
I try, try, try not to be in the way.
G Bm A
I could help to end this misery.
D E A
Oh why, why, why don't you let me stay?
[Bridge]
C#m D
Our love, would be innocent.
A F#m G
Oh, so innocent, in every way. (stop)
