Ask Me to Stay
The United Steel Workers of Montreal
Words and music by Shawn 'GUS' Beauchamp

Intro:

C G Am F x2

C
  Woke up this morning with a knot in my chest 
G
  Washed my face and hands and then I got dressed
Am
  Open the door to another new day
    F
I'm burning inside when we got nothing to say

C
  Walk down the street and get in my car
G
  How many times have we gone this far
Am
  I could turn around and make the pain all go away
     F                                        C
Just pick up that phone, please ask me to stay
              G
Ask me to stay
              Am
Ask me to stay
              F
Ask me to stay

Solo 1:
C G Am F

C
  I can still feel your breath on the back of my neck
G
  I can still feel your hands on my chest
Am
  Well darling I wish you could see me now
F
Cold and lonely, I'm nothing but down

C
  I' so tired I'm falling in on closing lids
G
  There ain't enough caffeine in the world to get me going
Am
  But honey it's not too late 
     F                                   C
Just turn on your light, call out my name
                G
Call out my name
                Am
Call out my name
                F
Call out my name

Solo 2:
C G Am F x2

C
  Baby I'm back, try to look surprised
G
  I know you're angry but at least I never lied
Am
  Feel like I'm going backwards, can't see a damned thing
               F                                      C
Except in the distance the light off your golden wings
                 G
Your golden wings
                 Am
Your golden wings
                 F
Your golden wings

                 C
Your golden wings
                 G
Your golden wings
                 Am
Your golden wings
                 F
Your golden wings

C G Am F
