i found my fickle friend out in the alley way .
F
he said “you dont look so good . ”
C
i said “hey , doc , that’s great . ”
F C G Em C9
“you started practicing , i never got the note . ”
Dm C G C9
so lets shake and trade and be on our way .
F C F C
lets go go go .
F C
so here we are again , inside your neon shrine .
F C
sharing a chopping block beneath embarrassed light .
F C G Em C9
that tries to hide from us , it tucks itself away .
Dm C G C9
so we both grab hold and say “no you dont . ”
F C F C
just stay , just stay .
F
the mornings hot and harsh .
C
my notebook fills itself .
F
the words come thick with sweat .
C
but it feels like someone else
F C
is writing all of this .
G Em C9
someone i just cant believe
Dm C G C9 F C F C C/B
when i mop my brow , set my pen back down . still me , still me .
C9 Am
and i’m grabbing at a feeling now
C C/B G
that i cant ever name .
C9 Am
some sign posted to remind me
C C/B G
how i wanted things this way .
F C
she says “it’s pretty but you hate yourself . ”
G Em C9
“i can hear it clear as day . ”
Dm
and i say “i sing like this ,
C G C9
it sounds worse than it is . ”

i’m okay , okay .
F C
i’m okay , okay .
F C
i’m okay , okay .
F C
i’m okay , okay .
F C
so just stay , just stay
F C
so just stay , just stay
F C
i’m okay , okay .
F C
so just stay , just stay ,
F C
just stay , just stay .
