[Verse 1]
C
Read my heart and say
C
"We'll make it alright if you follow along"
G
Had enough, throw it away
G
Keepin' it all we said that we won't
F
Show it off, to some dismay
Dm
Battles in the heat of the night
F
Feel soft. I hate to say
F
"Shake it off and it'll be alright."
[Chorus]
F
Come on baby, won't you stay?
Dm
I've said it like a hundred times
Am G
I feel my life's untied and passin' into overdrive
F
Keep it in a tight bouquet
Dm
So nobody can recognize
Am G
And by the way I'd hope that I'm more than was advertised
F
Come on baby, won't you stay?
Am
But like this song, I'm an afterthought
[Verse 2]
C
I feel so far away
C
While we're sittin' here in a similar room
G
And I feel so far away
G
Even though it's all we've been doin'
F
About to go away --
Dm
I'm taking off for just over a month
F
It'll probably be ok
F
We're usually better when we can't talk enough
[Verse 3]
C
C'mon read my heart and say
C
"You'll make it alright if you follow along"
G
Had enough, throw it away
G
Keepin' it all we said that we won't
F
It's just the time won't last for long
Dm
We'll feel like more than just an afterthought
F
Just the time I hope is gone
F
Shake it off, about to go on
[Chorus]
F
Come on baby, won't you stay?
Dm
I've said it like a hundred times
Am G
I feel my life's untied and passin' into overdrive
F
Keep it in a tight bouquet
Dm
So nobody can recognize
Am G
And by the way I'd hope that I'm more than was advertised
[Chorus]
F
Come on baby, won't you stay?
Dm
I've said it like a hundred times
Am G
I feel my life's untied and passin' into overdrive
F
Keep it in a tight bouquet
Dm
So nobody can recognize
Am G
And by the way I'd hope that I'm more than was advertised
[Bridge]
Am C
When you said "it's so fine" when
F
you started then
Am G
When you said "you're all mine
F
until we start all over."
[Chorus]
F
Come on baby, won't you stay?
Dm
I've said it like a hundred times
Am G
I feel my life's untied and passin' into overdrive
F
Keep it in a tight bouquet
Dm
So nobody can recognize
Am G
And by the way I'd hope that I'm more than was advertised
[Chorus]
F
Come on baby, won't you stay?
Dm
I've said it like a hundred times
Am G
I feel my life's untied and passin' into overdrive
F
Keep it in a tight bouquet
Dm
So nobody can recognize
Am G
And by the way I'd hope that I'm more than was advertised
