A Billy won't you stay We've been up all night D Talking 'bout flowers from '65 A The prince on that dress You always liked D We were young enough To go out and dance at night A We'd cross the street And you'd hold my hand D Same man now That you were back then A Young kids good for nothing But high hoping D Broken, starving plastic ring Perfect for eloping A Years went by fast You were so good to me D Our children have children Billy, how could it be A But 90 years is nothing To some kids like us D So baby stick around And tell a story just because Chorus: E A Billy stay a while E D A Lately you've been slipping in and out E A Billy stay a child E D A Tell me 'bout that girl you dreamed about E A Billy stay a while E D A Tell me of the lovers who once were E A Billy stay a child E D A Tell me bout' that girl and how you loved her A Billy don't forget Won't you keep on tryin' D I'll keep my ears open To keep from crying A You're more handsome now Than you were back then D And I'm the same girl you fell for When we were kids A If love was enough Then you'd stay forever D But I guess sometimes That the end is better A Cause love turns to loss As the time goes by D You don't know your own name But you know mine Chorus: E A Billy stay a while E D A Lately you've been slipping in and out E A Billy stay a child E D A Tell me 'bout that girl you dreamed about E A Billy stay a while E D A Tell me of the lovers who once were E A Billy stay a child E D A Tell me bout' that girl and how you loved her A And you went back home In your sleep last night D And I hear you whisper "I love you goodbye" A But maybe your Heaven's 1965 D With my hair in your face On a long summer drive A To me you'll never be The times you forgot D But all of our good times And flowers you bought | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA D E Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
