[Verse 1]
C
Hey my friend it’s been a while since I saw you last
G
It isn’t often you’re around, so sit before you dash
C                     D         G
Your kids must be about nine already
C
I know you gotta run before it gets too late
G
But your presence is so heavy I can feel its weight
C                   D               G
So just tell me about your husband Eddy


[Chorus]
G        Cadd9  D
Stay with me a while
C               Cadd9
Please let this moment last
G.      Cadd9  D
We can share tonight
C                        Cadd9
The morning light is coming fast
G       Cadd9  D
Wait to say goodbye
C               Cadd9
Until the time we have has passed
                    G
Stay, stay, stay a while


[Verse 2]
C
Remember back in high school when we were seventeen
G
Running reckless through the night all young and carefree
C                          D     G
Speeding over sixty down highway 55
C
Now that treeline is is a parking lot, the street is gone
G
Like the moments of our past vanish 'fore we catch on
C                         D     G
When’s the last time you felt alive?


[Chorus]
G        Cadd9  D
Stay with me a while
C               Cadd9
Please let this moment last
G      Cadd9  D
We can share tonight
C                        Cadd9
The morning light is coming fast
G       Cadd9  D
Wait to say goodbye
C               Cadd9
Until the time we have has passed
                    G
Stay, stay, stay a while


[Verse 3]
C
If time is an hourglass the sand’s fallin’ quick and
G
We’re closer to the end than the middle of the wick
C                            D         G
And the candle’s burning at both ends now
C
Three years have passed in two blinks of an eye and I
G
Remember waiting for my birthday counting every blue sky
C                               D          G
What I would give to tell that little one how it ends

G Cadd9 D C
G Cadd9 D C
G Cadd9 D C
G Cadd9 D C


[Bridge]
C
But I didn’t mean to worry you
G
Please tell me if you feel it too
D
Or maybe it’s coming out the blue
C                Cadd9
So if this rings true


[Chorus]
G        Cadd9  D
Stay with me a while
C               Cadd9
Please let this moment last
G      Cadd9  D
We can share tonight
C                        Cadd9
The morning light is coming fast
G       Cadd9  D
Wait to say goodbye
C               Cadd9
Until the time we have has passed
                    G
Stay, stay, stay a while
