Cadd9
Darling, stay with Me

[Chorus]
G D
I am the light upon your feet
Em7

G D
And I will calm your seas
Em7
And set you free
Cadd9
And when you don’t know where to go
G
Darling, I will be your home

[Verse]
G

G Cadd9 Em7
And I like it that way because if they never know who I am

I am the light upon your feet
Em7
I am your bed when you get weak

I’ll be your blanket to wear when it’s colder
Cadd9
Don’t carry the weight of the world on your shoulders

G D
And I will calm your seas
Em7
And set you free
Cadd9
And when you don’t know where to go
G
Darling, I will be your home

[Chorus]
G D
I am the light upon your feet
Em7
I am your bed when you get weak

I’ll be your blanket to wear when it’s colder
Cadd9
Don’t carry the weight of the world on your shoulders

G D
And I will calm your seas
Em
And set you free
Cadd9
And when you don’t know where to go
