 [Intro]
Eb Bb F

[Verse 1]
        Eb
For a while there
          Bb
it was rough
            F
But lately, I've been
         Gm
doin' better
         Eb
Than the last four cold
      Bb             F
Decembers I recall
             Eb
And I see my family
          Bb
 every month
          F
I found a girl
             Gm
my parents love
                Eb
She'll come and stay
                  Bb
the night, and I   think
                      F
I might have it all
         Eb            Bb
And I thank God every day
        F       D/F#     Gm
For the girl he sent my way
      Eb
But I know the things he
  Bb                       F
 gives me, he can take away
      Eb                Bb
And I hold you every night
              Gm
And that's a feeling
     F       Eb
I wanna get used to
               Eb
But there's no man as
                   F
 terrified as the man who
                     Eb Bb
 stands to lose you

[Verse 2]
           Eb
I found my mind,
              Bb
 I'm feelin' sane
            F
It's been a while,
                    Gm
 but I'm finding my faith
                Eb
If everything's good
 and it's great,
         Bb
why do I sit and wait
             F
 'til it's gone?
Oh, I'll tell ya,
   Eb              Bb
I know I've got enough
         F
I've got peace and
 D/F#     Gm
I've got love
        Eb
But I'm up at night
          Bb
thinkin' I just might
          F
lose it all

[Chorus]
Eb        Bb      Gm
   Please    stay
  F
I want you, I need you,
     Eb
 oh God
      Bb      Gm
Don't    take
      F
Thеse beautiful things
           Eb
that I've got

[Post-Chorus]
         Bb
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh,
  Gm  F     Eb
oh, oh-oh-oh

[Outro]
       Bb      F
Please    stay
I want you,
                Eb
I need you, oh God
  Bb      F
I    need
These beautiful
things that I've got
