D
I would rather stay here
Bm
where the flowers bloom and the sun,, it shines
it shines on you
G A D
It lights up your eyes
Bm A G
Bm A G
Bm A G
Sitting here all by ourselves,, counting all the people
Bm A G
As they pass us by
Bm A
They gather all around,, stare on down
G D Em
Into a dark,, dark,, pit
Bm A G
Don't go,, please don't go
Bm A
But they step on in,, they fall all in
G
They walk all over you
Bm A G D Em
One step at a time they walk in a line down a false,, false,, hope
[Chorus]~
D
I would rather stay here
Bm
where the flowers bloom and the sun,, it shines
it shines on you
G A D
it lights up your eyes
D
I would rather stay here
where the moon,, it glows
Bm
soaring doves and falling crows
G A D
laughter is the only sound here
D Em G D
If i had one wish,, I'd fill up that pit,, I'd fill up that pit
Em
I'd cry till it filled to the brim
G D
You'd swim to the top,, and I'd grab your hand
Bm A
Oh how can I,, how can I convince you to stay
G
where all the flowers bloom and the grass it sways
Bm A
And the rain,, it pours,, and the waves all roar
G
and the trees they grow,, and the falling crow
Bm A
soars down into that dark cold pit
C G
and you follow it in,, oh you follow it in
D
I would rather stay here
Bm
where the flowers bloom and the sun,, it shines
it shines on you
G A D
it lights up your eyes
D
I would rather stay here
where the moon it glows
Bm
soaring doves and falling crows
G A D
laughter is the only sound here
D Em G D
If I had one wish,, I'd fill up that pit,, I'd fill up that pit
Em
Oh,, I'd cry till it filled to the brim
G D
You'd swim to the top and I'd grab your hand
I would rather stay here
Where the flowers bloom and the sun, it shines
It shines on you
It lights up your eyes
Sitting here all by ourselves, counting all the people
They ask us why
Gather all around down and stare on down
Into the dark, dark pit
Don’t go, please don’t go
But they step on in, they fall all in
They walk all over you
One step at a time they all walk in a line down a false, false hope
I would rather stay here
Where the flowers bloom and the sun, it shines
It shines on you
It lights up your eyes
I would rather stay here
Where the moon, it glows
Soaring doves and falling crows
Laughter is the only sound here
If I had one wish, I’d fill up that pit
I’d fill up that pit
I’d cry ‘til it filled to the brim
You’d swim to the top, and I’d grab your hand
How can I, how can I convince you to stay
Where all the flowers bloom and the grass, it sways?
And the rain, it pours and the waves all roar
And the trees they grow, and the falling crow
Soars down into that dark cold pit
And you follow it in
Oh, you follow it in
I would rather stay here
Where the flowers bloom and the sun, it shines
It shines on you
It lights up your eyes
I would rather stay here
Where the moon, it glows
Soaring doves and falling crows
Laughter is the only sound here
If I had one wish, I’d fill up that pit
I’d fill up that pit
I’d cry ‘til it filled to the brim
You’d swim to the top, and I’d grab your hand
