1. Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one-night stand
Am7                 F                    C 
   But I still need love 'cause I'm just a man
Am7                    F          C
   These nights nev-er seem to go to plan
Am7                    Gsus4                C 
   I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?

                     Am     F     C
Chorus: Oh, won't you   stay with me?   
                    Am    F   C
       'Cause you're   all  I need   
        G         Am          F        C
        This ain't  love it's clear to see
            E/G#     Am     F     C
        But dar-ling,   stay with me   

Am7       F         C
2. Why am I so e-mo-tion-al?
Am7                    F                   C
   No it's not a good look, gain some self con-trol
Am7                F             C
   And deep down I know this nev-er works
 Am                     Gsus4         C
   But you can lay with me so it does-n't hurt   
  
                     Am     F     C
Chorus: Oh, won't you   stay with me?   
                    Am    F   C
       'Cause you're   all  I need   
                  Am          F        C
        This ain't  love it's clear to see
            E/G#     Am     F     C
        But dar-ling,   stay with me 

               Am   F   C    C         Am   F   C    C

        But dar-ling,   stay with me
