Em 
I'm on watch here  
   D                   G 
So close your eyes and get some rest  
C                      G 
I'm here to watch your heart  
                C                G 
It's been faulted from the start  
           Bm           C 
I'm the rips in your chest  

I'm not an angel,  
I never mean to make you cry  
Jumping through my hoops  
With dissension in the troops  
And a smile inside  

Bm                    C 
What's that over your shoulder?  
Bm              C 
Fear of getting older  

Em   C    G   D 
Stay with me.  

Sing me a love song  
From your heart or from the phone book  
It don't matter to me  
I'm an apple, you're the tree  
I won't fall when you shook  

What's that over your shoulder?  
Fear of getting older  

Stay with me.  

C  Am  Em

C              D 
It ends with a kiss  
                        Em 
It ends with a tear  
                          G 
It ends with the lights up  
                  C 
Bathing our fear  
                  D 
Tell me nonsense  
                         Em 
I don't want to see  
                G                         C           D          Em 
I saw the lightning cut through the last winter sky of the year  

Stay with me  
Keep with me... 

C  Am  Em (4x)
