"Just Stay" by Kevin Devine
Hey guys, saw a version of this song up already.
I made a few changes that I thought sounded better.
Listen to the song for the strumming pattern.
Capo on the 1st fret
C/B - X20010
C9 - 033210
F C F C
F C
I found my fickle friend out in the alley way.
F
He said "You dont look so good."
C
I said "Hey, Doc, that's great."
F C G Em C9
"You started practicing, I never got the note."
Dm C G C9
So lets shake and trade and be on our way.
F C F C
Lets go go go.
F C
So here we are again, inside your neon shrine.
F C
Sharing a chopping block beneath embarrassed light.
F C G Em C9
That tries to hide from us, it tucks itself away.
Dm C G C9
So we both grab hold and say "No you dont."
F C F C
Just stay, just stay.
F
The mornings hot and harsh.
C
My notebook fills itself.
F
The words come thick with sweat.
C
But it feels like someone else
F C
Is writing all of this.
G Em C9
Someone I just cant believe
Dm C G C9 F C F C C/B
When I mop my brow, set my pen back down. Still me, still me.
C9 Am
And I'm grabbing at a feeling now
C C/B G
That I cant ever name.
C9 Am
Some sign posted to remind me
C C/B G
How I wanted things this way.
F C
She says "It's pretty but you hate yourself."
G Em C9
"I can hear it clear as day."
Dm
And I say "I sing like this,
C G C9
It sounds worse than it is."
I'm okay, okay.
F C
I'm okay, okay.
F C
I'm okay, okay.
F C
I'm okay, okay.
F C
So just stay, just stay
F C
So just stay, just stay
F C
I'm okay, okay.
F C
So just stay, just stay,
F C
Just stay, just stay.
F C
Ohhhhh, Whoa, Whoa oh oh
F C
Ohhhhh, Whoa, Whoa oh oh
F C
Ohhhhh, Whoa, Whoa oh oh
F C
Ohhhhh, Whoa, Whoa oh whoa.
F C
Oh Whoa, oh Whoa.
F C
Oh Whoa, oh Whoa.
F C
Oh Whoa, oh Whoa.
F C
Oh Whoa, oh Whoa.
