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)


End on C
