[Verse 1]

E A

Say it's not so

E2 D# C#sus4 B A

Say your heart it wrote me letters all the time

E E3 D# C#sus4 B D

Say it sealed them up and with your breath did sign

Them all away

[Verse 2]

E A

Say that your notes

E2 D# C#sus4 B A

They were no forgery, you meant them every line

E E2 D# C#sus4 B A

Some in meter, some in verse, and some in rhyme

Tell me you meant every word

[Post-Chorus 1]

B A

You could cut my knees and leave me at the door

B A

I'd still pick all your memories off our dusty floor

B A

If you'd stay

B A

If you'd stay

[Chorus]

E3 D# C#sus4 B A E

Darling, just a little while

E3 D# C#sus4 B A E

Darling, just a little while

E3 D# C#sus4 B A E

Darling, just a little while

[Verse 3]

E A

Tell me how you are

E2 D# C#sus4 B A

And I'll write a song for every feeling I can't name

E E2 D# C#sus4 B A

Like we were dancing in a fucking blood ballet

It was a massacre

[Verse 4]

How'd you get away?

A B A

'Cause oh, good heavens we abided by the night

B A

But there are darker things than the absence of light

B A

And they still creak through our halls

[Post-Chorus 2]

B A

I would build a city out of you and me

B A

There would be crime, but still a local grocery

B A

If you'd stay

B A

If you'd stay

[Chorus]

E3 D# C#sus4 B A E

Darling, just a little while

E3 D# C#sus4 B A E

Darling, just a little while

E3 D# C#sus4 B A E

Darling, just a little while
