D    G           D          A
 Oh, love, I'm a mess right now

Can you help me out?
            D        A

going wrong
                       G

Baby, hear when I say
Oh-oh

[Chorus]
           D          G
"Won't you stay, love
     D           A
When everybody's leaving?
         D     G
Come on, stay, love
   D                  A
To get me through the evening

[Verse 2]
D    G           D         A
 Oh, life can be cruel sometimes
         D       G
It's the perfect crime
        D  A
With an alibi
      D  G   D             A
And I try to make it on my own
             D         G
But that's a fighter's fight
            D      A
And I'm the loving type, oh

How to play Stay Love: key, chords and progression

To play Stay Love by Lewis Capaldi, think in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). It takes 5 chords: D, G, A, Em and F#m.

The backbone of the song is D – G – D – A (I – IV – I – V in D major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – doh – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar almost every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
