[Intro] G

G                         Am
  We fell in love in the city
C
  I'd never seen it this cold
G                              Am
  She said, "I hate how you're living"
C
  Then pushed me against the wall

            G             Am
No, I don't want to leave
       C
It's a damn cold night
            G             Am
And I don't want to sleep
         C
Oh, just tell me it's too late to drive

    G
Can I stay here tonight?
    C
Can I stay here tonight?
    G      D                    C
Can I stay here tonight with you?

     G               Am
Stay here (I've made too many promises)
     C
Stay here (Don't make too many promises)
     Em                        D
Stay here (You make it hard to be alone)
C
Here

G                     Am
  I wasn't always a cynic
C
  It's just I've been bought and sold
Em                          G
   But you saw the beauty inside it
C
  At twenty-seven years old

            G             Am
No, I don't want to leave
       C
It's a damn cold night
            G             Am
And I don't want to sleep
         C
Oh, just tell me it's too late to drive

    G
Can I stay here tonight?
    C
Can I stay here tonight?
    G      D                    C
Can I stay here tonight with you?
    G           Am
Can I (Can I) stay here tonight?
    C
Can I (Can I) stay here tonight?
    Em     D                   C
Can I stay here tonight with you?

     G               Am
Stay here (I've made too many promises)
     C
Stay here (Don't make too many promises)
     Em                        D
Stay here (You make it hard to be alone)
C    G  Am  C  Em  D  C
Here

         G        Am
It's the promises

We break 'em every time
          C
And every consequence

We kiss between the lines
          Em
And do it all again
  D                         C
I guess I just feel better around you
         G        Am
It's the promises

We make 'em every time
          C
And every word that you said

I hang on every line
        Em
I do it all again
  D                         C         G  C  Em  D  C
I guess I just feel better around you
