[Verse 1]
<b class="chord">Eb</b> <b class="chord">Bb</b>
For a while there it was rough
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">Gm</b>
But lately, I've been doin' better
<b class="chord">Eb</b> <b class="chord">Bb</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
Than the last four cold Decembers I recall
<b class="chord">Eb</b> <b class="chord">Bb</b>
And I see my family every month
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">Gm</b>
I found a girl my parents love
<b class="chord">Eb</b> <b class="chord">Bb</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
She'll come and stay the night, and I think I might have it all
<b class="chord">Eb</b> <b class="chord">Bb</b>
And I thank God every day
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">Gbdim7</b> <b class="chord">Gm</b>
For the girl He sent my way
<b class="chord">Eb</b> <b class="chord">Bb</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
But I know the things He gives me, He can take away
<b class="chord">Eb</b> <b class="chord">Bb</b>
And I hold you every night
<b class="chord">Gm</b> <b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">Eb</b>
And that's a feeling I wanna get used to
<b class="chord">Cm</b> <b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">Eb</b> <b class="chord">Bb</b>
But there's no man as terrified as the man who stands to lose you
[Pre-Chorus]
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">Gm</b>
Oh, I hope I don't lose you
<b class="chord">Eb</b> <b class="chord">Bb</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
Mm please stay
<b class="chord">Gm</b> <b class="chord">Eb</b>
I want you, I need you, oh God
<b class="chord">Bb</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
Don't take
<b class="chord">Eb</b>
These beautiful things that I've got
[Chorus]
<b class="chord">Bb</b> <b class="chord">Gm</b>
Please stay
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">Eb</b>
I want you, I need you, oh God
<b class="chord">Bb</b> <b class="chord">Gm</b>
Don't take
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">Eb</b>
These beautiful things that I've got
[Post-Chorus]
<b class="chord">Bb</b> <b class="chord">Gm</b> <b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">Eb</b>
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
<b class="chord">Bb</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
Please don't take
[Verse 2]
<b class="chord">Eb</b> <b class="chord">Bb</b>
I found my mind, I'm feelin' sane
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">Gm</b>
It's been a while, but I'm finding my faith
<b class="chord">Eb</b> <b class="chord">Bb</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
If everything's good and it's great, why do I sit and wait 'til it's gone?
<b class="chord">Eb</b> <b class="chord">Bb</b>
Oh, I'll tell ya, I know I've got enough
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">Gbdim7</b> <b class="chord">Gm</b>
I've got peace and I've got love
<b class="chord">Eb</b> <b class="chord">Bb</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
But I'm up at night thinkin' I just might lose it all
[Chorus]
<b class="chord">Eb</b> <b class="chord">Bb</b> <b class="chord">Gm</b>
Please stay
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">Eb</b>
I want you, I need you, oh God
<b class="chord">Bb</b> <b class="chord">Gm</b>
Don't take
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">Eb</b>
These beautiful things that I've got
[Post-Chorus]
<b class="chord">Bb</b> <b class="chord">Gm</b> <b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">Eb</b>
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
[Outro]
<b class="chord">Bb</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
Please stay
<b class="chord">Eb</b>
I want you, I need you, oh God
<b class="chord">Bb</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
I need
These beautiful things that I've got
