[Verse 1]
G I can never leave you when you're lying in the bed Face to the wall D Eyes locked on the floor Em7 What did you mean by that, what did you mean by that? Take it as a self invitation Em Take it as your own means of salvation D If I could take it all If I could take it all back
[Chorus]
G Nothing is forgiven unless you want it to be Em And if it's too late for deciding Oh, just leave it to me C Stay with me, stay with me Stay with me, stay with me D Stay with me please Because I'm living, living Living in the darkness
[Verse 2]
G I could never beat it when you needed me the most D The more I try the less you try to come Em How could I live like that, how could I live like that? Take it as a self indication Take it as your own means of vindication D If I could take it all If I could take it all back
[Chorus]
G Nothing is forgiven unless you want it to be Em And if it's too late for deciding Oh, just leave it to me C Stay with me, stay with me Stay with me, stay with me D Stay with me please Because I'm living, living Living in the darkness
