D
I would rather stay here
Bm
where the flowers bloom and the sun, it shines
it shines on you
GAD
It lights up your eyes
BmAG x2
BmAG
Sitting here all by ourselves, counting all the people
BmAG
As they pass us by
BmA
They gather all around, stare on down
GDEm
Into a dark, dark, pit
BmAG
Don't go, please don't go
BmA
But they step on in, they fall all in
G
They walk all over you
BmAGDEm
One step at a time they walk in a line down a false, false, hope
ChorusD
I would rather stay here
Bm
where the flowers bloom and the sun, it shines
it shines on you
GAD
it lights up your eyes
D
I would rather stay here
where the moon, it glows
Bm
soaring doves and falling crows
GAD
laughter is the only sound here
DEmGD
If i had one wish, I'd fill up that pit, I'd fill up that pit
Em
I'd cry till it filled to the brim
GD
You'd swim to the top, and I'd grab your hand
BmA
Oh how can I, how can I convince you to stay
G
where all the flowers bloom and the grass it sways
BmA
And the rain, it pours, and the waves all roar
G
and the trees they grow, and the falling crow
BmA
soars down into that dark cold pit
G G*once
and you follow it in, oh you follow it in
D
I would rather stay here
Bm
where the flowers bloom and the sun, it shines
it shines on you
GAD
it lights up your eyes
D
I would rather stay here
where the moon it glows
Bm
soaring doves and falling crows
GAD
laughter is the only sound here
DEmGD
If I had one wish, I'd fill up that pit, I'd fill up that pit
Em
Oh, I'd cry till it filled to the brim
GD
You'd swim to the top and I'd grab your hand
