i can’t believe that no – one has tabbed this song so far! but here are the chords
the verses are basically E and G#m ( with a little brush of F# just before changing
between the two ( you can here it on the song ) but i would say that if you are a novice then
just ignore the f#s in the verses ( apart from the last one ( which leads in to the chorus )
i spend ages lining up the chord names over the right lyrics – but in pasting it in to
this online submission for it sometimes messes about with that a bit – so apologies if
they appear a tiny bit off line – but i’ve tried!
anyway – this is of stay what you are ( in my opinion the only genuinely perfect thing in
this word ) . peace , ben
verse
E G#m
and i will flail under these lights ,
E G#m
that seep down from the bitter sky tonight
F# E F# G#m
and i will kick and beat my wrists together
F# E F# G#m F#
and feel an ocean breathing waves , feel them licking at my face .
E F# G#m
ceilings don’t exist and there are no floors beneath me .
F# E G#m F#
if i were king of this night , would you become my queen?
chorus
E B F# G#m F# E
and i hope , your majesty that you like your position .
B F# G#m F# E
i’ll do everything i can to keep you by my side
B F# G#m F# E
and i’ll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom .
B F#
just kiss me before i go
verse
E F# G#m F# E
i’ll have to walk a thousand miles
F# G#m F# E
just to find the ground deserving of your feet .
F# G#m F# E
you could throw me down and walk on me
G#m F#
and i’d just look on through my love and through the haze .
chorus
E B F# G#m F# E
and i hope , your majesty that you like your position .
B F# G#m F# E

bridge
E G#m E
the nightingales are singing now
G#m F# E G#m E
they’re calling out our marriage to our subjects on their knees
G#m F# E
their jewellery is thrown into the air
G#m E
they sigh at their release as their shackles hit the ground
G#m F#
the trumpets call out now , we’re home at last
chorus
E B F# G#m F# E
and i hope , your majesty that you like your position .
B F# G#m F# E
i’ll do everything i can to keep you by my side

and i’ll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom .
B F#
just kiss me before i go
