Stayv2

**Note: Gavin does something interesting at the end of his choruses in this song. Rather

the traditional and expected IV-V-I harmonic resolution, he leaves us on the minor ii

Upon listening to the track, you will notice that neither the F Major chord

nor the G Major chord (V)[/ch] quite fit in that spot. Also, I couldn't

out how to get the chords in the right spots over the words, but this is not a

song to pick up so you'll figure it out after a few tries.

Stay

Music and Lyrics by Gavin Degraw

Verse 1:

You don’t have to be part of the problem

I just need a second chance

I just need a second chance

Instead of leaving me standing in sorrow

I know that you’ll understand

I’m hoping you’ll understand

Pre-Chorus:

I know that I was wrong

But just don’t walk away

Chorus:

Oh, won’t you stay

I need you, need you here

When you’re with me

All others disappear

I’ll follow close

So close I’ll almost touch

I need your love

But it never hurt this much

Verse 2:

I don’t want to be someone who’s searching

I finally met someone

I finally met someone

And there’s a couple of things I’m still learning

Just gotta figure out

But you need someone who knows

Pre-Chorus:

I came to you tonight

But now you’re just walking away

Chorus:

Oh, won’t you stay

I need you, need you here

When you’re with me

All others disappear

I’ll follow close

So close I’ll almost touch

I need your love

But it never hurt this much

Bridge:

Don’t get caught up in it feeling off course today

You could take a minute before you go slipping away

I know I took some time

But I realize my mistake

Pre-Chorus:

You don’t have to be part of the problem

I just need a second chance

Chorus:

Oh, won’t you stay

I need you, need you here

When you’re with me

All others disappear

I’ll follow close

So close I’ll almost touch

I need your love

But it never hurt this much

I need your loving arms tonight

But it never hurt this much

Coda:

You don’t have to be part of the problem

I just need a second chance
