Stay Close To Me Chords by Ted Hawkins

[A] I know you want me [D] by the strange way [A] that you kissed [D] me.
_ [A] _ _ _
What was your reason for the [D] wise crack that you [E] made? _ _ _ _ _
[F#] If you knew you'd [E] act this way, why did [A] you leave me alone?
_ [D] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] Please stay close [E] to me. _ _ _
[A] You're from the upper class, [D] you dislike long hair [A] anyway.
_ [D] I [A] know you do. _
I'm going to the barbershop, [D] I'll read the paper _ [E] just like you. _ _ _ _ _
[F#] Tomorrow morning, I [E] swear to God, [A] I'm going to see if [D] I can find you.
_ [A] But please [D] stay _ close [A] to me.
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _
I [F#] realize _ the life I live [E] is not the right thing to do. _
But how was [F#] I to know that someday [A] I'd meet [D] someone?
[E] _ _ _
[F#] It isn't easy, _ I'll try to kick, _ [E] if you help me too. _ _ _ _
[F#] Oh my darling, you don't know [E] how I need you.
_ There [A] is a cold sweat sweeping [D] over me right [A] now.
[D] Oh yes [A] it is. _
I need a fix.
Won't [D] somebody help me come to [E] my rescue?
_ Oh yeah. _
[F#] Perhaps I'd still be [E] stepping high had I [A] not promised you that I would [D] try.
Oh [A] please _ stay [D] close to [A] me.
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _
There's a rough road [D] that's laid out [A] before me.
[D] Oh [A] yes it is.
There's going to be flashbacks of bad trips all [E] summer long.
Oh yeah. _
[F#] You wouldn't force me to [E] live like you [A] if you knew the agony that I [D] am going through.
[A] Oh please stay [D] _ close to [A] me.
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _
Oh please _ [D] stay close [A] to me.
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ Oh please.
_ [D] _ _ _
