Chords for Steve Poltz, featuring Lindsay Lou- Let’s Stay Together

You came over to my house in Nashville. _ _
Yeah, and you helped me finish a punk rap song.
I did.
And then, and then Steve Holtz wrote this song while I was there.
Is what [D] actually happened.
I might have contributed like a couple words.
[F] But Steve is [Gb] always like, no, no, no, you were there.
You matter. _ _
[Eb] _ No way.
_ [E] It's [G] not about who did what.
It's about the inspiration.
And this is my favorite song on the record.
I love you too.
We wrote this together and I'm so glad we wrote this [A] together.
And it goes like this. _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ First time that I saw [Am] you, you were on your couch and [C] you were leaning back.
Maybe late for a plane or late for a train or maybe [F] a heart attack.
You had a wild streak in your [Bb] eyes.
Man, I [C] loved your guts.
I knew I'd follow you anywhere.
[E] No ifs, ands, or [F] buts.
And the second time that I [C] saw you, I wanted [G] you so bad.
But I had to get [Cm] permission from your mother.
Then go [G] upstairs and ask your dad.
He had a shotgun [C] sitting there [Bb] right between [F] his legs.
He said, go out and get me [Cm] some whiskey, some [Bb] weed, and a dozen [F] eggs.
Let's stay together.
[C] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ Like birds of [F] a feather.
[Am] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ When I went back to [C] your house again, I gave it a real good [F] inspection.
Must admit, I [Cm] fell in love with [G] your record collection.
There wasn't one dud, [C] no. _
[Bb] Nothing you could [F] waste.
I gotta tell you, [C] babe, you got [F] spectacular taste.
It was Christmas time.
We [Cm] were walking slow in the snow.
We [C] started to fall.
Went back inside under the mistletoe and [Bb] I kissed you in [F] the hall.
And the choirs of angels [Am] singing the songs a [Gm] little bit out of [F] tune.
So we put on some [C] Wood Brothers and slowed [Bb] dance to the [F] night of our
Let's stay together.
It really says [Bb] it on the record.
Like [F] birds of a feather.
[C] Baby, we're [Bb] together.
_ _ [G] Baby, we're together.
[C] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[F] Let's stay together.
[C] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ No way.
[Dm] No way.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ Well, we might find work washing dishes at a local [F] bar.
I'll save up some money and buy [Am] us a brand [Bb] new [F] used car.
Then we'll rent us a [C] house [Bb] on an organic [C] farm.
And I'll get your name [A] tattooed right here in the middle of my [F] arm.
Well, we might run [C] out of cash and join a [Bb] crew just [C] digging a ditch.
I got a guitar in my hands and [Eb] my fingers are starting [F] to twitch.
It can be hard being a singer, [C] finding a [F] decent place to play.
Well, this body's [C] littered along the side of the folk [F] highway.
Let's stay together.
[C] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
Like [Fm] birds of a feather.
[C] _ _ [Bb] _
_ Baby, [Fm] you were _ [C] _
[Bb] tethered.
_ _ [F] Let's stay [C] together.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I like [Am] watching you lean down [D] and polish up your shoes.
[F] A simple act like that can make me forget about [Bb] all the bad [F] news.
It's the way that [C] you grimace, the way [D] you make your hips [Fm] shake.
Well, [C] everything about you is a visible [F] earthquake.
You can treat this [C] life just like it's an [F] old board game.
Kind you keep in the closet you [C] bring out when it [F] starts to rain.
Dust it out, learn to [C] smile.
Maybe [F] roll the dice.
Try to be [Am] patient, try to be kind.
It ain't that hard to [F] be nice.
Let's stay together.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ Like birds of a [C] feather.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _
Baby, you were [F] _ _ [C] tethered.
[Bb] _ _ _
[F] Let's stay together.
_ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ Like birds of a [F] feather. _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] Baby, you were _ tethered.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ Let's [C] stay together.
Try that with me, let's stay together. _
Let's stay together.
_ Like birds of a feather.
Like birds of a feather.
[Am] _ Baby, you were [Bb] tethered.
Baby, [C] you were _ tethered.
_ [Gm] Let's stay together.
[Bb] _ [F] Let's stay together.
[C] You [Eb] get extra credit if you put your arm around your neighbor and do it again louder [Bb] like you're an S-10 boy. _ _ _
Let's stay together.
[C] _ _ _ [Bb] Like birds of a feather.
Like birds [C] of a feather.
_ [Bb] Baby, you were tethered.
[Gm] Baby, you were [C] tethered.
Oh, look at the [Bb] love.
_ _ [F] Let's stay together.
[Cm] _
_ [Bb] Just you guys now, let's stay together.
[F] Let's stay together. _
_ [Cm] _ _ [Bb] Like birds of a feather. _
_ [F] _ _ [C] _ Baby, you [Bb] were tethered. _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] Let's stay together.
[F] Let's stay together.
[Am] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ Let's stay together.
