              A      E/G# C#m B
Take off your make-up,
              A      E/G# C#m B
take off your clothes
        A      E/G# C#m B
I wanna wake up
             A   E/G# C#m B
next to your nose
              A         E/G#
Would you let me linger on your lips
C#m
I'm still wrapped
            B
'round your fingertips
    A             E/G#
And if I had me a rocket
     C#m             B
ship I just fly back home
            A                  E/G#
'Cause I've looked in New York City
         C#m               B
And I've checked in Boston too
     A                        E/G#
I've found a couple that were pretty
        C#m                   B
But I'm still gonna stay with you

And then I checked back at Duke

I found a couple that were pretty
        C#m                   B
But I'm still gonna stay with you

How to play Stay With You: key, chords and progression

The progression the song keeps returning to is A – E/G# – C#m – B (IV – I – vi – V in E major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – lah – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
