A
The city towered my car
A         C#m    B      B C#m A
The first night I got in
A                  A
At your favorite bar
       C#m        B      B C#m A
With the guy who owns it
A           C#m          B      B C#m A
Oh, it's just like you called it
        A   C#m   B
And oh, you never got it


[Chorus]
C#m B A    C#m      B       A
Sta___y, keep me here for a while
C#m B A    C#m     B             A
Sta___y, you can leave when you like


[Instrumental]
C#m B A (x4)


[Verse 2]
A                                             A C#m
Phases to ages and you're messing with my head
B               B C#m A
And I already do
                                             A C#m
Phases to ages and you're messing with my head
B               B C#m A
And I already do
       A       C#m     B         B C#m A
Oh, it's just like you called it
        A   C#m   B
And oh, you never got it


[Bridge]
                   E      F#m
You're writing your name on everything
  C#m                  B
Walking up the stairs of your building
   E                     F#m
And you're still learning all the light switches
        C#m                B
Sweeping your hand against the wall


[Chorus]
C#m B A    C#m      B       A
Sta___y, keep me here for a while
C#m B A    C#m     B             A
Sta___y, you can leave when you like
C#m          B          A
Running out of things in kind, running out of common lines
C#m B A
Sta___y
 C#m          B          A
Gonna get you overnight, gonna get you all the time
C#m B A
Sta___y
C#m B A    C#m      B       A
Sta___y, keep me here for a while
C#m B A    C#m     B             A
Sta___y, you can leave when you like
