Stay

E                  F#
Green light, Seven Eleven
         A                      E
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
                             F#
You don't smoke, don't even want to
   A                    E
Hey now, check your change
                   F#
Dressed up like a car crash
      A                           E
The wheels are turning but you're upside down

 F#m                                  E
You say when he hits you, you don't mind
 F#m                                  E
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
 F#    A              E
Is that what it is?

E                  F#
Red lights, grey morning
       A                          E
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
                F#
A vampire or a victim
       A              E
It depends on who's around
              E                    F#
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
               A                  E
You could lip synch to the talk shows

 F#m                              G#m
And if you look, you look through me
                            A
And when you talk it's not to me
                                 B
And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing

F#m
If I could stay
                E
then the night would give you up
 F#m                               E
Stay, and the day would keep its trust
 F#m           A               E
Stay, and the night would be enough

     E       F#
Faraway, so close
             A              E
Up with the static and the radio
          E        F#
With satellite television
     A         E
You can go anywhere
   E          F#     A                      E
Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin

F#m                              G#m
And if you listen I can't call
                            A
And if you jump, you just might fall
                                 B
And if you shout I'll only hear you

            F#m
If I could stay
                              E
then the night would give you up
 F#m                               E
Stay, and the day would keep its trust
 F#m         G#m
Stay with the demons you drowned
 A              B
Stay with the spirit I found
 F#m            A            E
Stay and the night would be enough

         E            F#
Three o'clock in the morning
            A               E
It's quiet and there's no one around
          E            F#
Just the bang and the clatter
      A              E
As an angel runs to ground
          E            F
Just the bang and the clatter
       A               E
As an angel hits the ground
