Ask Me To Stay
Intro:
E B A E (X2)
E B A E
There's a secret on the telephone tonight
E B A E
She calls me baby when she's lonely
E B A E
And it drives me crazy, but I just can't turn her loose
E B A
I've grown accustomed to these years of self abuse
Chorus:
E B A B
If you ask me to stay, I wont ever go
E B A B
We can talk all night, there's some things you should know
E B A B C#m
This could be for all time, you can still change your mind
A B
But if you ask me to stay, I wont ever go
It smells like whiskey, she's drunk again
I'd be surprised if she remembers where she's been
With all this passion, is it love or luck
We talk in circles but forever's undiscussed
Chorus
Solo (Repeat Intro, build up on B...)
But you don't know
Chorus
Outro:
E B A E (X2)
