Verse 1:
C5
You say that Gainesville's
got no soul
well that sounds like a good
F5
excuse for coming home
A5
and all these Tallahassee skylines
G5
they keep singing out a song
C5
and know it's your song they've
F5
been singing all night
A5
and this Gailiardi rooftop just
G5
keeps calling out your name
F5
to come and sing, so stay
Interlude: C5
Chorus:
F5
(so stay)
stay and watch the stars come out
C5
and then the sun as they all fade away
i'll sing every song I know
if it will make you want to stay
A5
and then i'll say
G5
that I missed you
F5
and these words
G5
they'll convince you
Verse 2:
i poured through
C5
every song I wrote
every line that I've cried every
F5
note that was split with this pen
A5
and every line in every song
G5
they all seemed to come out wrong
C(hold)
until your song
F5
so let's sing it
all night long
A5
and this Tallahassee skyline
G5
hasn't changed
F5
while the view from every
rooftop says to stay
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
and I could call you
C5
"baby doll" all the time
F5
and you'd whisper in my ears
A5
you'd say ?i missed you boy?
so sing it over again and
G5
over again and over again
(Repeat twice)
Interlude: C5 - F5 - A5 - G5
A5
still you'd say
G5
that I missed you
F5
and these words
G5
they'll convince you
F5
And I'm hoping as
G5
I kiss you
(Repeat Bridge twice)
