Intro: Am Em Am Em 

Am              Em 
Baby, stay with me tonight 
Am                      Em 
Baby, soothe me like an orphan child 

               Am 
This word's on fire, the crooks and the liars 
                Em 
Are bribing our souls and robbing our lives 
             Am 
They come to haunt us in dreams where they taunt us 
               Em 
And they don't tell us everything has it's price 

Am              Em 
Baby, stay with me tonight 
Am                Em 
Baby, say it will be all right 

            Am 
Fairy tales tell you a good man will find you 
              Em 
And love will be the key to paradise 
             Am 
Girls they believe it, they want to feel needed 
           Em 
They're so afraid to lead a lonely life 

C 
Locked in the shadows of doubt 
G 
Secrets are afraid of the light 
C 
Forever searching for the spirit 
G                 E 
We keep hidden inside 

Am Em Am Em Am Em Am Em 
(recitation) 

Am              Em 
Baby, stay with me tonight 
Am                    Em 
Baby, take me in your arms tonight 

                Am 
This world's on fire, we're caught in a mire 
             Em 
And we don't know what to believe anymore 
                Am 
Men built their towers of hatred and power 
             Em 
And we don't know what all the suffering is for 

C 
Locked in the shadows of doubt 
G 
Secrets are afraid of the light 
C 
Forever searching for the spirit 
G                  E 
Hidden deep in our hearts 

Am Em Am Em Am Em Am Em
