VERSE 1 (rhythm guitar)
[Ab]I've got this notion,
that moving[C#] out is b[Ab]etter,
Than this commotion,
if she comp[C#]lains I[Ab] wont let her,
[C#]Tell me what to [G#]do
and when s[Bb]he want[C#]s to argu[G#]e
[Bb]ill remind he[C#]r that were th[E5]rough
VERSE 2
[Ab]A late reminder,
and post-it [C#]notes and ma[Ab]rkers,
[Ab]were it not kinder her black eye w[C#]ould be da[Ab]rker,
[C#]And all these brown b[G#]oxes havent he[Bb]lped me m[C#]ove one bit[G#]
[Bb]in half-empty [C#]rooms they si[E5]t,
CHORUS 1
[G#]Stay th[C#]ats where they will s[Bb]tay
[C#]I could never s[G#]ay,
[C#]I would never s[Bb]ay,
[C#]"This is over"
VERSE 3
[Ab]Ive got this cupid
humble [C#]from the mark[Ab]er
Its pretty stupid, but [C#]none-the-less [Ab]ill pack it
[C#]and this boxcutters to[G#]o dull,
other wise[Bb] id end [C#]it all,[G#]
[Bb]theres still[C#] boxes in the ha[E5]ll,
CHORUS 2
[G#]And stay, [C#]thats where they will s[Bb]tay,
[C#]I could never pl[G#]ace any[C#] other bla[Bb]me,
And [G#]how coul[C#]d you even [Bb]go,
on li[C#]ving if its s[G#]o, unintenti[C#]onal,
Bb (end with Intro riff)
