This song is fairly straightforward - I've transcribed the chords for a single
acoustic (or rhythmn) guitar. The C-Csus4 Am-Am6 G progression is played as
follows - you'll have to get the timings by ear (probably the trickiest bit):
C Csus4 A Am6 G (2 bars)
e|----0-0-0-0-0---|----0-0-0-0-0---|----3-3-3-3-3-3-3-
B|----1-1-1-1-1---|----1-1-1-1-1---|----0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
G|----0-0-0-0-0---|----2-2-2-2-2---|----0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
D|----2-2-2-3-2---|----2-2-2-3-2---|----0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
A|----3-3-3-3-3---|----0-0-0-0-0---|----2-2-2-2-2-2-2-
E|----------------|----------------|----3-3-3-3-3-3-3-etc
Intro: C Em Am F
Verse 1:
[C] The last time you walked away
You left this weight with me,[Em]
It's in my heart it's on my back,
I think it might bury me,[F]
I wanna cast you out,
But that's just half of me,[G]
The other half believes there's more to us than tragedy,[C][-][Csus4]
Bridge:
[Am]But[-] I[Am6] can't[G] do it on my own
Chorus:
[C]Oh, oh oh [Em]oh, oh oh[Am] oh,
Stay, s[F]tay, stay,
[C]Oh, oh oh [Em]oh, oh oh[Am] oh,
Or don't come [F]back if you walk away,
[C]Oh, oh oh [Em]oh, oh oh[Am] oh,
I can't go [F]on like it's all the same,
[C]Oh, oh oh [Em]oh, oh oh[Am] oh,
So stay, [F]stay stay.
Verse 2:
[C] Don't tell me you're not safe,
It sounds like a dare to me,[Em]
And if you doubt don't shut me out, that's not fair to me,[F]
I know i hurt you too, When I was looking for clarity,[G]
But all I know is when I go, I want you there with me.[C-Csus4]
[Am]'Ca[-]us[Am6]e I ca[G]n't do it on my ow[C-Csus4]n,
[Am]And[-] i[Am6]f I got [G]you I think I could hold on, hold on...[C]
Chorus:
[C]Oh, oh oh [Em]oh, oh oh[Am] oh,
Stay, s[F]tay, stay,
[C]Oh, oh oh [Em]oh, oh oh[Am] oh,
Or don't come [F]back if you walk away,
[C]Oh, oh oh [Em]oh, oh oh[Am] oh,
I can't go [F]on like it's all the same,
[C]Oh, oh oh [Em]oh, oh oh[Am] oh,
So stay, [F]stay stay.
