Stay With Me Tonight Uke tab by Emma Wallace

Intro: Gm F Eb Cm D Gm

Gm                              Cm
The streetlamps try to do their best

                D            Gm
But the light's faded in the west

Gm                                Cm
It's like a night straight out of Poe

            D          Gm
And one I'd hate to be alone

                        Cm
But with my ego at full mast

         D               Gm  D
I cannot bring myself to ask you...

Gm   Cm
Baby, stay with me tonight

       D
It's a while before the light will win

        Gm                       D
And I'd love to have you here to tuck me in, oh,

Gm    Cm
Baby, I hate to be needy

              D                    Gm
It's just the shadows seem kind of seedy 

        D                             Gm
And I'm begging you to stay here with me

Gm                            Cm
I never liked those girls who cling

          D       Gm
Needing a man for everything

                           Cm
With batted eyes and pouts intent

     D                 Gm
They bask in attention spent

                              Cm
But one thing I envy in their bask

              D           Gm  D
They wouldn't hesitate to ask you...


Gm   Cm
Baby, stay with me tonight

       D
It's a while before the light will win

        Gm                       D
And I'd love to have you here to tuck me in, oh,

Gm   Cm
Baby, I hate to be needy

              D                    Gm
It's just the shadows seem kind of seedy 

        D                             Gm
And I'm begging you to stay here with me

Gm F Eb Cm D Gm D Gm Cm D Gm

Gm                          Cm
I've been the same girl all along

    D                     Gm
Too independent proud and strong

                          Cm
More like an island and a rock

            D           Gm
Than like a pillow or a dock

                                 Cm
But sometimes strength is just a mask 

               D                 Gm    D
And that's why tonight, my love, I ask you...

Gm   Cm
Baby, stay with me tonight

D
It's a while before the light will win

Gm                               D
And I'd love to have you here to tuck me in, oh,

Gm    Cm
Baby, I hate to be needy

              D                    Gm
It's just the shadows seem kind of seedy 

        D                             Gm
And I'm begging you to stay here with me

Gm   Cm
Baby, stay with me tonight

D
It's a while before the light will win

Gm                               D
And I'd love to have you here to tuck me in, oh,

Gm    Cm
Baby, I hate to be needy

              D                    Gm
It's just the shadows seem kind of seedy 

        D                             Gm
And I'm begging you to stay here with me
