  G Gm  F Fm  E Esus Em
ForGmgive me if now FI wear the face of worryEsus  
EsusThis time alEmone could never cause any dGmoubt
But FI've been cold too Esuslong
Such a Emstrange time to find myself coming down as Gmthe rain
With Fall these holes my Esuslove,
To fill Emup from the midGmdle
                         F    Esus...Em  
This storm could stay all night
So can you stay until we Fmclose our Geyes
Til your Fmdreams hold Gmine
Just Fmstay until we Gknow we tried Fmone more Etime
(Play Riff A)
                        Gm                        F   Esus...Em  
Cause laughing lovers can overcome their closest demons
GmAnd they'll go on and they Fwon't let goEsus...oh Emno
They saw something that they Gmknow
                  F  Esus...Em  
Has never come so close
Can it Gmstay here...Fstay here for Esusus, for nEmow?
                     *(Stop playing Riff A here, Play Riff B)
Can it stay until we Fknow oursGelves?
I'm Ftorn as I Gtell
You're the story that I Fknow and fell Gfrom
                                        *(Stop Playing Riff B here, Play Riff C)
                            F            G  F...G  
I'm so far into your story I don't know why
We Fthink Gwe're in FcontrolG  
                        *(Stop playing all Riffs)
When Fwe lie Gbetween the Flines
We'll find a line to followE  
It's got to show real soon
(Play Riff A)
Or we'll never reach this high
We climb a little Gmfurther
Cause there's nFothing we can't get arEsusound togetherEm  
Further gets Gmcolder until Fnothing was all that I saEsusw aroundEm  
(Stop Playing Riff A, Play Riff B)
So we stay until the gFround
That we cGan't come down fFrom splits Gus away
Maybe stars know wFhy we fGall
I just wFish they were thinking out lGoud
