C         G          F
They say this town, stars stay up all night, well I
C           G              F
Don't know, can't see 'em, for the glow of the city lights
C         G         F
Long way from here to the place where the home fires burn
C             G                 F
Two thousand miles and one left turn


Chorus:
C                  G
Dear Mom and Dad, Please send money.
F            G
I'm so broke it ain't funny
C                      G                F     G
Don't need much just enough to get me through
C                   G
Please don't worry I'm alright
  F                   G
I'm playin' here at the bar tonight
Am                   G              F

Stay Chords and Lyrics
by: Sugarland

D       A
I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall
D     A
And I've been laying here praying, praying she won't call
          Em
It's just another call from home
    G D A
You’ll get it and be gone and I'll be crying
D   A
I'll be begging you baby, beg you not to leave
D    A
But I'll be left here waiting' with my heart on my sleeve
         Em
Oh for the next time we'll be here
    G     D    A
Seems like a million years, and I think I'm dying
Em G
What do I have to do to make you see
Em   GA
She can't love you like me

Why don't you stay
             G
I'm down on my knees
                     Em
I'm so tired of being lonely
                        A
Don't I give you what you need
       F#m         Bm
When she calls you to go
                           G

    G                                       D         A
And I don't like being used and I'm tired of waiting


Em                     G
It's too much pain to have to bare

I can't take it any longer
     G
But my will is getting stronger
    Em                              A
And I think I know just what I have to do
      Em
I can't waste another minute
   G
After all that I've put in it
   Em
I've given you my best
           A
Why does she get the best of you
 Em
So next time you find
  G                         A
You want to leave her bed for mine

Why don't you stay

I'm up off my knees

I'm so tired of being lonely

You can't give me what I need
