Em
Why don't you stay here? I wanna spend some time
Em
Why don't you lay here? Make the full moon cry
Em
Why don't you love me the way I want you to?
Em
You cut up the best dress I ever bought for you

     C                          D
But you don't have to doubt or figure me out
Bm                                  Em D
Let me show you the way it's gonna be
 C                        D
You don't have to doubt what it's all about
Bm                                  B
See the light that leads you here, we can find a way

Chorus:
       Em      C       G        D
I want you to be there all the time
       Em     C          G     D
I want you to be there when I die
        Em    C        G          D
I want you, you, just don't ask why
        Em   C   G        D
I want you, you, all the time
        Em
I want you

Your scent brings me flowers, your heart, it brings me wine
All of these hours, I wanna do that time
Your love is such hardship, but work I'm pleased to do
And my back is breaking, fire I'll walk through

You don't have to doubt or figure it out
See the light that leads you here, we can find a way

Chorus

Am
We don't need the seas to separate
      Em
No regret
Am
See the storm in you against your own
    Em
Cigarette

And you don't have to doubt what it's all about
Darkness coming down, night is all around

Chorus:
I want you to be here all the time
I want you to be here when I die
I want you, you, just don't ask why
I want you, you, all the time
I want you to be here all the time
I want you to be here when I die
I want you, you, just don't ask why
I want you, you, all the time
I want you
