E I met a girl, a snowball in A7 hell
She was a Am7 s hard and as c G racked as the Liberty C Bell D D#
E I got her to come on and move in with A7 me
And I Am7 said I'd find a be G tter place we could C5 spe D5 nd G5 ete A5 rni B5 ty
Don't go C5 down, d B5 on't go A5 down
D5 Stay with me, G5 bab C5 y s G5 taa C5 aaa G5 ay B5
E Her mama called me a A7 thief
And her Am7 dad called G himself commander-in- C chief D D#
E I fought him off with my A7 love
But I Am7 knew the sense of w G orthlessness she'd h C5 ave D5 to r G5 ise A5 abov B5 e
Don't go C5 down, B5 Don't go A5 down
D5 Stay with me, B G5 aby C5 , s G5 taa C5 aaa G5 ay B5
(Play through verse)
Don't go C5 down, B5 Don't go A5 down
D5 Stay with me, B G5 aby C5 , s G5 taa C5 aaa G5 ay B5
E She had a dream, woke up in A7 shock
She had Am7 seen her own G body outlined in C chalk
E I split the scene, the globe had been A7 spun
And her Am7 ghost leaned down to G kiss me with a C5 mess D5 age G5 from A5 the B5 sun
Don't go C5 down, B5 Don't go A5 down
D5 Stay with me, Baby C5 stay
B5 Don't go A5 down
D5 Stay with me, Baby C5 stay
B5 Don't go A5 down
D5 Stay with me, Baby, G5 stay
G5 Stay
