Intro: G C Em D (4x) 


G           C              Em       D 
 I'm pretty sure we almost broke up last night 
G           C                Em       D 
 I threw my phone across the room, at you 
G        C               Em    D 
 I was expecting some dramatic turn away 
    G  C Em  D -once 
But yooou    stayed 


G             C                Em    D 
 This morning I said we should talk about it 
G                       C             Em     D 
Cause I read you should never leave a file unresolved 
G                    C            Em       D 
That's when you came in wearing a football helmet 
         G              C   Em                
And said okay let's talk 
    D D

G            C          Em             D 
Before you I only dated self indulgent takers  
    G                 C               Em  D 
Who took all of their problems out on me 
G                C                     Em     D 
But you carry my groceries and now I'm always laughing 
  G                C              Em    D 
I love you because you have given me no choice but to

 Stay, stay, stay, stay
