Stay with me, oh sweet clarity

Certainty like lightning

[Verse 1]
F F/E F F/E
Of an evening so far afield
F Eb Bb/D
A firefly he guided

In deepest dark he made our way
F Eb Bb/D
Then on my arm alighted

[Bridge]
Bb Eb Bb
The light on the wall from the dormer through the shade
Eb Bb
Was slatted, agitated
Eb Dm
It drew him to and he could see his grave
Db Ab Bb Eb Bb Eb
And all the streetlamps faded---
Bb Eb
The last one ended candidly: He said
Bb Eb
"In love you don't fear dying"
Db Ab
And she said, "It's only that I loved you so
Bb Eb
I know you to be lying"
Bb Eb
Mmm----
[Riff 1]
F F/E F F/E (2x)
[Verse 2]
F F/E F F/E
In the hedges we heard a sound
F F/E Bb/D
A black-eyed dog to haunt you
F F/E F F/E
But the worst of that's over now
F F/E Bb/D
We can go where we want to
[Chorus]
Bb Eb Bb
Stay with me, oh sweet clarity
F Eb
Certainty like lightning
Db Ab
Companionship a rarity
Bb Eb
Oh stay with me, my clarity
Bb Eb
Mmm----
[Riff 2]
