                           C           G     D
Come and stay with me as long as you like
                                     G               C
I live outside of town where the straight highway curves
   D                  C                G      D
Three years I lived nextdoor to the airport
                 G                           A
So nothing you can say to me can get on my nerves

  Em             A         D                   G
Stay 'till you feel your legs underneath you again
                       C       D
I've got room in my house for you

C G D

                                  C         G
I've got a Kenmore single-room window unit air conditioner
 D                               G           C
It cools down the place in the full heat of day
D                          C                G
A family of possums have made a home underneath the front steps
 D                     G                     A
They are majestic in their own beady-eyed homely way

  E                   A            D           G
Stay 'till you can breathe like normal people do
                       C       D
I've got room in my house for you

  Am                        G     D    Dm
They tore down the airport in 1981
  Am                          G                   A
This is where I came when I ran out of places to run
        D
Come, come
                       C          G           D
Come and stay with me out here away from things
                                 G            C
Come and stay with me where the sky's real clear
D                            C                       G
I live way out where no one believes anybody could live
D                            C                        G
Sky's purple from six in the evening 'till midnight out here

                  A          D       G
Stay 'till the world goes down in flames
                 C                   D
I've got room, room in my house for you
