C, Dm, F
[Verse 1]
C
You were a silhouette, shimmering shadow in the
Em
mirror with ash and snow
C Em
I took your fevered hands, felt like embers of the world's dying glow
C
And you were featherlike as I carried you quietly through the
Em
crumbling streets
C Em
And in the fading light I could see in your eyes that somehow we were meant to meet
[Pre-Chorus]
F
Would you stay with me
Am C
If you thought the war was over
Dm
And everything made right?
F
Would you still believe in us?
Am G
And would your love for me grow colder
F
With no one left to fight?
[Chorus]
C Dm F
Would you stay with me?
C Dm F
Would you stay with me?
[Verse 2]
C
After the fever left, together we scavenged through the
Em
city and her scars
C
And when the day would end, by the door against the
Em
demons and the dark
C Em
We'd share a can of something, a bottle of bourbon I'd hid away
C
It warmed me from within and you from without
Em
Till I forget the chilling grief
[Pre-Chorus]
F
Would you stay with me
Am C
If you thought the war was over
Dm
And everything made right?
F
Would you still believe in us?
Am G
And would your love for me grow colder
F
With no one left to fight?
[Chorus]
C Dm F
Would you stay with me?
C Dm F
Would you stay with me?
[Bridge]
F Am
Oh, it seems like every night
C Dm F Am
You lie in bed and worry that the world would start to heal
F Am
Now I'm terrified
C Dm F Am
That if it did you'd start to ask if what we have is real
[Pre-Chorus]
(loud)
F
Would you stay with me
Am C
If you thought the war was over
Dm
And everything made right?
F
Would you still believe in us?
Am G
And would your love for me grow colder
F
With no one left to fight?
[Chorus]
C Dm F
Would you stay with me?
C Dm F
Would you stay with me?
