Capo 2
AStop jokiEng around for one Dsus2minute
I'd rather Ecry right nAow
AAnd play those sEad notes oAn the pDsus2iano
Let the rest of the Eband go hAome
'Cause BmI'll lead yC#mou until the morningDsus2  
Please be C#mhere until the morningBm  
Hold my C#mhand until the morning 
Dsus2Brings the light of C#mday Bmto our eyesE  
And smell the burning leaves in autumn driveways
We'll be out on the road to way past supper
And leave the lamp lit low beside the window
If you can mop up a waterfall
'Cause I'll lead you until morning
Please be here until the morning
Hold my hand until the morning
Brings the light of day to our eyes
F#mJust hop a Atrain, you hate to Efly
F#mCome see the Apictures of my Eeyes
F#mYou want to laAugh, I want to Ecry, cry, cry, cry
Please be here until the morning
Hold my hand until the morning
Chase my fears until the morning
Till you promise life
Please be here
