Key : C
[Verse 1]
C F
The days are long
C F
Please don’t go
C F C F
I can’t trust myself to be alone
C F
The sun beats down
C F
My wrists burn on the stove
C F C F
In this lonely seventy-eighth motorhome
[Instrumental]
C | F | C | F |
[Verse 2]
C F
I stay here, alone inside
C F
With the Sunday dinner and the summertime flies
C F
Motorcycles rev outside
C
From the backyard screen
F C F
I hear them drive off into the night
C F
But I know
[Chorus]
C F
If I told him I’d die here
C F
If I stay
C F
He would hold me in his arms
C F
And he’d love it that way
[Instrumental]
C | F | C | F |
[Verse 3]
C F
Sad teddy bears on the lawn outside
C F
Clean off the mud, hang them up out to dry
C F
Try to sleep, to pass the time by
C
But the dogs in the yard keep me up
F C F
With their cries in the ni--ight
C F
But I know
[Chorus]
C F
If I told him I’d die here
C F
If I stay
C F
He would hold me in his arms
C F
And he’d love it that way
[Instrumental]
C | F | C | F |
C | F | C | F |
[Verse 4]
C F
The days are long
C F
Please don’t go
C F
I can’t trust myself
C F
To be alone
C F
It all goes dark
C F
My bangs long overgrown
C F C F
In this lonely seventy-eighth motorhome
[Outro]
