A5                G5
Will this night fulfill all the promises
    A5          G5
And bury us in peace?
A5                G5
Will it leave us free and forgetful?
A5                        G5
Or at least bring some sleep?
D5                         E5
Your eyes don't catch the little things
D5                  E5
As they narrow on your fault
D5                             E5
I'm checkin' your pulse, 'cuz you're so quiet
D5                    E5
I'm kissin' you, but you don't feel it
G5                    A5
Why'd you do this to me?
G5                A5
Showin' me that all I'm good for
D5               E5
Is to watch you sleep
D5                 E5
As lifeless as an angel
A5                          G5
She was the most beautiful cloud
          A5                         G5
That ever passed before the face of girl
           A5                           G5
Seems like nothing's too good for this life
      A5                                 G5
Yeah, some things are too good for this world
D5                     E5
And our names and our faces
D5              E5
Amount to just spare change
D5                 E5
The memory of us all
D5             E5
Kept droppin' spare change
G5             A5
Why won't you stay?
G5             A5
Why won't you stay?
G5             A5
Why won't you stay?
G5                A5
Why--- won't you stay, hey?

(Instrumental)

D5 D5 E5 E5 D5 D5 G5 G5

A5                    G5
A memory of a little girl
A5                                     G5
Who was far too much in love with the world
        A5                         G5
And who really didn't wanna stick around for the end
A5             G5
Why won't you stay?
A5             G5
Why won't you stay?
A5             G5
Why won't you stay?
A5             G5
Why won't you stay?

end on D.
