I'll Stay Here

Verse 1:

Dm7

I'll stay here lying on your bed,

E

even for the rest of my days.

A#maj7

With its side empty spaced,

Am7

where you once used to stay.

A#maj7 Am7

Have you ever noticed the glimpses upstairs?

F E G

These rooms are all that matter.

 

Verse 2:

Dm7

And on the walls there's pictures screaming

E

and ask me what I've done to seem

A#maj7 Am7

so amused by the way of having done nothing today.

A#maj7 Am7

They all have their eyes covered up with paint.

F E G

Their room is all that matters.

 

Chorus:

Gm7

I can walk up the walls,

Dm7 Gm7 Dm7

but can't make water out of wine.

Gm7 Dm7

So I'm desperate for some cold rain

Am7 A#maj7

to wash those hands of mine.

 

Verse 3:

Dm7

I'll stay here listening to the crowds

E

and hear the footsteps and the shouts.

A#maj7

But it's all passing me by,

Am7

tangled up in my own lie.

A#maj7 Am7

Have I missed the clue of your brave escape?

F E G

For this is what - you said - matters.

 

Outro:

some other day,

Gm7 Dm7

some other clown,

Am7 A#maj7

coming up her way.
