VERSE 
D                          G 
  There is a sun that I belong to 
A7                                     D 
  There hangs a light that comes and shines upon you 
Bm                                     A 
  They're of the warmth, they're of reminders of youth 
        Bm      A   G 
  Oh we can't stay here 

D                                   G 
  Take down the moon and all it's mockery 
A7                              G 
  There is the Sun that takes away our money 
Bm                              A 
  The night is deafening and brings on defeat 
        Bm      A   G         Bm      A   G 
  No we can't stay here, no I can't stay here 
       Bm      A   G 
  No I can't stay here 

G                           A           Bm     D 
 Someone told me that I've run too far away, away 
G                          A                Bm         D 
 Someone told me I should just give in and stay, and stay 
      G             D           Bm     A        G 
 Oh, come and celebrate, we're dancing on the grave 
         G                   A         Bm      A   G 
 Of the nights we couldn't sleep, oh I can't stay here 


VERSE 
D                                G 
  Don't steal away all of her beauty 
A7                                 D 
  Take down the darkness bruising both of your knees 
Bm                          A 
  It better overwhelm the heart with the heat 
       Bm      A   G          Bm      A   G 
  Oh I can't stay here, no we can't stay here 
       Bm      A   G 
  No I can't stay here 


G                      A              Bm     D 
 Someone hold me as I turn the night away, away 
G                       A           Bm    D 
 Someone hold me to the ultraviolet ray, ray 
      G             D           Bm     A         G 
 Oh, come and celebrate, we're dancing on your grave 
         G                   A         Bm      A   G 
 Of the nights we couldn't sleep, oh I can't stay here 
       Bm      A   G          Bm      A   G 
 No, I can't stay here, no, I can't stay here
