Stay Or Leave Chords & Tabs
Well I was looking for some tabs of this song and couldn't find anything descent
enough to look at for more than 3 seconds. So here's my version of 'Stay or Leave'.
I think you will find it fairly accurate.
Listen to the song for timing, and figure out the chords on your own.
I'm too lazy to do either.

Lyrics:
Maybe different but remember
Winters warm there you and I
Kissing whiskey by the fire
With the snow outside
And the summer comes
The river swims at midnight shiver cold
Touch the bottom you and I
With muddy toes
Stay or leave
I want you not to go but you should
It was good as good goes
Stay or leave I want you not to go but you did
Wake up naked drinking coffee
Making plans to change the world
While the world is changing us
It was good good love
You used to laugh under the covers
Maybe not so often now
The way I used to laugh with you
Was loud and hard
Stay or leave
I want you not to go but you should
It was good as good goes
Stay or leave I want you not to go but you did
So what to do
With the rest of the days afternoon hey
Isn't it strange how we change
Everything we did
Did I do all that I should
That I coulda done
Remember we used to dance
And everyone wanted to be
You and me
I want to be too
What day is this
Besides the day you left me
What day is this
Besides the day you went
So what to do
With the rest of the days afternoon hey
Well isn't it strange how we change
Everything we did
Did I do all that I could
Remember we used to dance
And everyone wanted to be
You and me, I want to be too
What day is this
Besides the day you went away
What day is this?
And now the crap no one reads:
