Ok so there's standard tuning and it's more or less the part that James is playing
by himself. Hope you'll enjoy it!

DOoooooh, AOooooooh, BmOoooooh, Ghey!
AIts 72 degrees, Bmzero chance of rainG  
Its been a perfect dDayA  
Were all spinning on our heelBms, so far away from realG  
In CaliforniDa A  
EWe watched the sunset from our cGar, we all took it iEmn
And by the time that it was daGrk, you and me had somethinAg, yeaDh!
[Chorus]
And if this is what weve goAt, then what weve got is goldBm  
Were shining bright and I wGant you, I want you to knoDw
The mornings on its waAy, our friends all say goodbyeBm  
Theres nowhere else to gGo, I hope that youll stay the nightD  
AOoooh
Youll stay the nigBmht

AWeve been singing Billie JeanBm, Mixin vodka with caffeineG  
Weve got strangers stopping DbyA  
And though youre out of tuneBm  
Girl you blow my mind, you Gdo
And Ill say I dont waDnna say good nighAt
ETheres no quiet corner to Gget to know each otEmher
And theres no hurry Im a patiGent man
AAs your discoveDr
[Chorus]
And if this is what weve gAot, then what weve got is goldBm  
Were shining bright and I wGant you, I want you to knoDw

The story behind the song

"Stay the Night" emerged from James Blunt's desire to move away from introspective, self-pitying songs. He aimed for a more optimistic tone, finding that his previous writing felt repetitive and sad. The lyrics even feature a direct reference to Bob Marley's "Is This Love," with Marley receiving a co-writer credit for the line about sharing the shelter of a single bed. This song represents a shift towards a brighter, more hopeful feeling in his music.
