If U Stayed Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Dm][Am][C][Dm][Am]

[Verse 1]
[C]Boy,
I just heard you're getting [Dm]married[Am]
And it [C]took all the air straight
out my [Dm]lungs[Am]
[C]Shit just got real,
it kinda [Dm]scares [Am]me
'Cause I'm [C]finding out letting
go [Dm]ain't that much [Am]fun

[Verse 2]
[C]When you're walking down aisle
And when you're holding [Am]on
Onto your brand new child
I hope you think [Dm]of me
Of everything we had
And everything [G]we couldn't be

[Verse 3]
[C]When the day is dark
You know that I can't help but
[Am]Wonder where you are
And wonder if things would [Dm]be better
If we'd stayed [G]together

[Interlude 1]
If you stayed
[C][Dm]
[Am][C][Dm][Am]

[Verse 4]
[C]Boy, I just can't carry this [Dm]burden
[Am]And [C]they say that the truth
will set [Dm]you free[Am]
But [C]even the words can't
stop this [Dm]hurting[Am]
So I [C]guess it's true,
sometimes lies [Dm]are what you [Am]need

[Verse 5]
[C]When you're walking down the aisle
And when you're holding [Am]on
Onto your brand new child
I hope you think of [Dm]me
Of everything we had
And everything [G]we couldn't be

[Verse 6]
[C]When the day is dark
You know that I can't help but
[Am]Wonder where you are
And wonder if things would [Dm]be better
If we'd stayed [G]together
And if [Dm]you stayed

[Verse 7]
Would we have [Dm]the life I'd always
dreamed [Am]about?
Picket fences, cyprus trees outside
[C]the house
Candlelights, and the nights,
and falling [G]rain
Years go by,
but still it'd always feel [Dm]the same
Or would it be the way it used to,
long [Am]ago?
The ups and downs, the epic highs,
the tragic [C]lows
The endless tears that I would
cry all summer [G]long
It's strange to see the things
you start to miss

[Verse 8]
When they're all gone
[C]When you're walking down the aisle
And when you're holding [Am]on
Onto your brand new child
I hope you think [Dm]of me
And everything we had
And everything [G]we couldn't be

[Verse 9]
[C]When the day is dark
You know that I can't help but
[Am]Wonder where you are
And wonder if things would [Dm]be better
If we'd stayed [G]together
If you stayed
