Well I was looking for some tabs of this song and couldn't find anything descent
enough to look at for more than 3 seconds.  So here's my version of 'Stay or Leave'.
I think you will find it fairly accurate.

Listen to the song for timing, and figure out the chords on your own.
I'm too lazy to do either.

Lyrics:
Maybe different but remember 
Winters warm there you and I 
Kissing whiskey by the fire 
With the snow outside 
And the summer comes 
The river swims at midnight shiver cold 
Touch the bottom you and I 
With muddy toes 

Stay or leave
I want you not to go but you should
It was good as good goes 
Stay or leave I want you not to go but you did 

Wake up naked drinking coffee 
Making plans to change the world 
While the world is changing us 
It was good good love 
You used to laugh under the covers 
Maybe not so often now 
The way I used to laugh with you 
Was loud and hard 

Stay or leave 
I want you not to go but you should 
It was good as good goes 
Stay or leave I want you not to go but you did 

So what to do 
With the rest of the days afternoon hey 
Isn't it strange how we change 
Everything we did 
Did I do all that I should 

That I coulda done

Remember we used to dance 
And everyone wanted to be 
You and me 
I want to be too 
What day is this 
Besides the day you left me 
What day is this
Besides the day you went 
So what to do 
With the rest of the days afternoon hey 
Well isn't it strange how we change 
Everything we did 
Did I do all that I could 

Remember we used to dance 
And everyone wanted to be 
You and me, I want to be too
What day is this 
Besides the day you went away 
What day is this?
