A G Will it leave us free and forgetful? A G Or at least bring some sleep? D Em Your eyes don't catch the little things D Em As they narrow on your fault D Em I'm checkin' your pulse, 'cuz you're so quiet D Em I'm kissin' you, but you don't feel it G A Why'd you do this to me? G A Showin' me that all I'm good for D Em Is to watch you sleep D Em As lifeless as an angel A G She was the most beautiful cloud A G That ever passed before the face of girl A G Seems like nothing's too good for this life A G Yeah, some things are too good for this world D Em And our names and our faces D Em Amount to just spare change D Em The memory of us all D Em Kept droppin' spare change G A Why won't you stay? G A Why won't you stay? G A Why won't you stay? G A Why--- won't you stay, hey? (Instrumental) D D Em Em D D G G A G A memory of a little girl A G Who was far too much in love with the world A G And who really didn't wanna stick around for the end A G Why won't you stay? A G Why won't you stay? A G Why won't you stay? A G Why won't you stay? end on D.
