Chorus:  D   Am   G   Gm   D, intro
Verse:  D   A   Bm  G  
Verse:  D   A   Bm  G  
Thanks to my friend's jerk boyfriend
We ended up hanging and then
You showed up and we were kickin' it
Watching movies late at night
Verse:  D   A   Bm  G  
And through the night we kept on laughing
Driving all our friends a little insane
And then I had to kiss you
Cause you were so ridiculously cute
And now I know you're everything too
Chorus: Chorus:  D   Am   G   Gm   D, intro
Stay! If I get lost along the way
And I start fighting windmills
Trying to make sense of everything that don't make sense
Well can't you hold me down?
Closer to the ground
When everything is spinning around
I hope that you will stay
Verse:  D   A   Bm  G  
And as time went on and our love grew strong
You were saving lives, I was writing songs
Don't know if you believed that I would go away
And now I'm on a plane this is what I gotta say
Everywhere I go you're right there with me
But should I stumble and fall one day
And lose my grip, baby won't you
Chorus:  D   Am   G   Gm   D, intro
Stay! If I get lost along the way
And I start fighting windmills
Trying to make sense of everything that don't make sense
Well can't you hold me down?
Closer to the ground
When everything is spinning around
I hope that you will stay
Bridge:  Bbmaj7   Dmaj7   Cmaj7( or  Am   G   Gm  D)
What are you gonna do?
I really want you, I really do
When I pick up the phone
Will you be there?
Thousands of miles
Everyday I need to know that you will
Chorus:  D   Am   G   Gm   D, intro
Stay! If I get lost along the way
And I start fighting windmills
Trying to make sense of everything that don't make sense
Well can't you hold me down?
Closer to the ground
When everything is spinning around
I hope that you will stay, stay
