  			Am                            G 
  I don't want you to misunderstand me 
Am                                G 
  I just want to say what's on my mind 
Dm                          Cadd G 
  No need to hit me with an attitude 
C           A7 (x02223)     D    C 
  Because I haven't got the time 
 
Am                                G 
  I want you to know one thing is certain 
Am                       G 
  I truly love your company 
Dm                               Cadd G 
  I won't take no if that's your answer 
C                  A7        D   Bm  c   
  At least, that's my philosophy 
 
Dm       Gm                   Dm             C 
Stay the night, there's room enough here for two 
Dm       Gm                 Dm            C 
Stay the night, I'd like to spend it with you 
Dm       Gm                  Dm        C 
Stay the night, why don't we call it a day 
Dm         Am           Bb         C      Dm 
No one can stop us, and nothing is in the way 
 
It comes from friendly conversation 
And if you still don't have a clue 
Unless there's something else you've got in mind 
We've got better things to do 
 
{Chorus} 
 
         C                 F 
(Just to have you near me) Here by my side 
         C                     Dm 
(Just to have you near me) And when I get next to your body 
         C 
(Just to have you near me) Oh 
G 
One thing I can tell you, we're gonna be fine 
      A 
We're gonna have a very good time! 
 
{Solo in F: to Chorus chords} 
 
Em       Am                   Em             D 
Stay the night, there's room enough here for two 
Em       Am                 Em            D 
Stay the night, I'd like to spend it with you 
Em       Am                  Em        D 
Stay the night, why don't we call it a day 
Em         Bm           C          D      Em 
No one can stop us, and nothing is in the way 
 
Em Am Em D   Em Am Em D   Em Am Em D 
Woooooooooh, woooooooooh, woooooooooh 
Em         Bm           C          D      Em         B7 
No one can stop us, and nothing is in the way.  What do you wanna say?

Stay the night 
Stay the night
