Gm F Eb Cm D Gm
Gm Cm
The streetlamps try to do their best
D Gm
But the light's faded in the west
Gm Cm
It's like a night straight out of Poe
D Gm
And one I'd hate to be alone
Cm
But with my ego at full mast
D Gm D
I cannot bring myself to ask you
Gm Cm
Baby stay with me tonight
D
It's a while before the light will win
Gm D
And I'd love to have you here to tuck me in oh
Gm Cm
Baby I hate to be needy
D Gm
It's just the shadows seem kind of seedy
D Gm
And I'm begging you to stay here with me
Gm Cm
I never liked those girls who cling
D Gm
Needing a man for everything
Cm
With batted eyes and pouts intent
D Gm
They bask in attention spent
Cm
But one thing I envy in their bask
D Gm D
They wouldn't hesitate to ask you
Gm Cm
Baby stay with me tonight
D
It's a while before the light will win
Gm D
And I'd love to have you here to tuck me in oh
Gm Cm
Baby I hate to be needy
D Gm
It's just the shadows seem kind of seedy
D Gm
And I'm begging you to stay here with me

Gm Cm
I've been the same girl all along
D Gm
Too independent proud and strong
Cm
More like an island and a rock
D Gm
Than like a pillow or a dock
Cm
But sometimes strength is just a mask
D Gm D
And that's why tonight my love I ask you
Gm Cm
Baby stay with me tonight
D
It's a while before the light will win
Gm D
And I'd love to have you here to tuck me in oh
Gm Cm
Baby I hate to be needy
D Gm
It's just the shadows seem kind of seedy
D Gm
And I'm begging you to stay here with me
Gm Cm
Baby stay with me tonight
D
It's a while before the light will win
Gm D
And I'd love to have you here to tuck me in oh
Gm Cm
Baby I hate to be needy
D Gm
It's just the shadows seem kind of seedy
D Gm
And I'm begging you to stay here with me
