Capo 3
(notes about how Kate plays it at the bottom!)
you didn t see it coming
you were looking for acceptance
someone, anyone to love you
you stumbled across a sure thing
you had waited for a long long time
these ones, yeah they did love you
you
so by chance the silence grabbed you by throat
the lies and deceit they kept you there afloat
convinced you that you, you need to be remote
all the while to them your life you did devote
so your friends and family were taken away
but the only thing you did was stay
there s no room to love, no room to play
and your opinions, they never swayed
you were constantly in a shade of grey
and god forbid you d ever stray
oh stay with me, if only just in my heart
oh stay with me, if only just in my heart
you didn t know you were missing
we were looking for your presence
did you know that we missed you?
a beautiful girl with a good heart
oh i prayed and i prayed each and every day
we d not be apart
so by chance the silence grabbed you by throat
the lies and deceit they kept you there afloat
convinced you that you, you need to be remote
all the while to them your life you did devote
so your friends and family were taken away
but the only thing you did was stay
there s no room to love, no room to play
and your opinions, they never swayed
you were constantly in a shade of grey
and god forbid you d ever stray
oh stay with me, if only just in my heart
oh stay with me, if only just in my heart
looking back is easier now with you by my side
but these last 3 years have been such hell, i can t count the times i ve cried
looking back is easier now with you by my side
but these last 3 years have been such hell, i really thought you d died
so your friends and family were taken away
but the only thing you did was stay
there s no room to love, no room to play
and your opinions, they never swayed
you were constantly in a shade of grey
and god forbid you d ever stray
oh stay with me, if only just in my heart
oh stay with me, if only just in my heart
just stay with me, if only just in my heart
please stay with me, if only just in my heart
-------------------------
Kate plays the entire song only playing two strings:
when playing C, pick the A and the B strings
when playing G, pick the E and the B strings
when playing F, pick the E and the B strings
when playing Am, pick the A and the B strings
when she plays the G chords in the verse, she puts this little riff in:
e------------|
B------------|
G------------|
D---0---2--0-|
A------------|
E-3---3------|
hope that was helpful!
