The first time I got muddy I was a young boy
Ten years old
I got lost in the woods in the middle of the
night, in the dark and rainy cold

Young and damp a summer camp
I was a funny little sleepwalker
So I didn't think to tie myself to that oak
tree before I fell asleep

E
When I stood up that night not knowing
all the while
Where I'd end up when I wake up having
slept walk for a mile
G#m
I found myself running barefoot almost
naked through the trees
I was in my underwear with branches
slapping on my face and knees
E
I ran on top the rocks wet cedar thorns
                 G#m
and moss feeling nothing
Then the moon rose up and I realized
I was lost
 B
Nowhere close to home for the first time
I was alone
Then the lightning struck and the
thunder shook and I called out for my mom
E
Give me some attention that's what
I yelled into the night
 G#m
Please come down and help me show me
sympathetic light
B
I need someone close to me
If only for a minute
I'm not afraid of the dark
I'm just scared of what's in it

Chorus:
B          E
Stay with me
G#m        B
Stay with me - x2

I had a dream last night that someone
was taking my air from me
Creating ten times as many problems
as any human can solve
They said you don't try hard enough
and shoes don't always come in pairs
They love you when they make you look
good but despise you behind closed doors
With vague goals and deep cracks it
told me I can do better than that
Living in the shadow of someone's light
that won't turn on
You see misery isn't everything
And I'm still learning that
Just give me the chance to turn my light back on

Chorus - x2

C#m     B
In the words of my father
E
Yes I'm good enough
A
Yes I'm good enough
C#m        B
Light the heart of my father
E
Yes I'm good enough
A
Yes I'm good enough
C#m B  A           E
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
         C#m                     B
With the hope and strength of an ocean tide

Chorus:
           E
Stay with me
G#m        B
Stay with me
B          E
Stay with me (Yes, I'm good enough)
G#m        B
Stay with me (Yes)

E
Yes, I'm good enough.
