**Note: Gavin does something interesting at the end of his choruses in this song. Rather
the traditional and expected IV-V-I harmonic resolution, he leaves us on the minor ii
Upon listening to the track, you will notice that neither the F Major chord 
 nor the G Major chord (V)[/ch] quite fit in that spot. Also, I couldn't
out how to get the chords in the right spots over the words, but this is not a
song to pick up so you'll figure it out after a few tries.

Stay
