(Intro)
[E] [F#m] [A]
-1st Verse-
You were a [E]silhouette, shimmering shadow in the
[G#m]mirror with ash and snow
I took your [E]fevered hands, felt like embers of the [G#m]world's dying glow
And you were [E]featherlike as I carried you quietly through the
[G#m]crumbling streets
And in the [E]fading light I could see in your eyes that somehow [G#m]we were meant to meet
-PreChorus-
[A]Would you stay with me
[C#m]If you thought the war was [B]over
And everything made [A]right?
[A]Would you still believe in us?
And [C#m]would your love for me grow [B]colder
With no one left to [A]fight?
-Chorus-
Would you stay with [E]me?[F#m][A]
Would you stay with [E]me?[F#m][A]
-2nd Verse-
After the [E]fever left, together we scavaged through the
[G#m]city and her scars
And when the [E]day would end, by the door against the
[G#m]demons and the dark
We'd share a [E]can of something, a bottle of bourbon I'd [G#m]hid away
It warmed [E]me from within and you from without
Till I f[G#m]orget the chilling grief
-PreChorus-
[A]Would you stay with me
[C#m]If you thought the war was [B]over
And everything made [A]right?
[A]Would you still believe in us?
And [C#m]would your love for me grow [B]colder
With no one left to [A]fight?
-Chorus-
Would you stay with [E]me?[F#m][A]
Would you stay with [E]me?[F#m][A]
-Bridge-
Oh, it seems like [B]every [C#m]night
You [A]lie in bed and worry that the [B]world would [C#m]start to [A]heal
Now I'm [B]terri[C#m]fied
[A]If the demons start to ask if [B]what we [C#m]have is [A]real
-PreChorus-(loud)
[A]Would you stay with me
[C#m]If you thought the war was [B]over
And everything made [A]right?
[A]Would you still believe in us?
And [C#m]would your love for me grow [B]colder
With no one left to [A]fight?
-Chorus-
Would you stay with [E]me?[F#m][A]
Would you stay with [E]me?[F#m][A]
