Verse 1
(F sharp minor) (B minor) (G major) (F sharp minor) (G minor) (Asus4) (G major) (Asus4) Millie,
I've (A major) been checking you (B minor) all night
you know you've made several trips to the (G major) door but
you always find an excuse (F sharp minor) to come back
(G minor) you really don't wanna go
and I think I know why (G major)
I know (D major) you've been in love
and been let (F sharp minor) down
you (A minor) think the the same thing
happens (G major) everytime around
But (G minor) can turn it all and make it (D major) pay
(G major) if I (Asus4) had (A major) my way (Asus4) (A major)
You're (D major) so afraid,
coz the (F sharp minor) hurt within you cries
and love (A minor) is just another
word for (G major) pain and lies
but (G minor) I could reach right out and just (D major) hold you,
if I (Asus4) had (A major) my way
if you (G minor) let me have my way
then I can show (D major) you
so just (B minor) stay (stay)
stay here with (E minor) me tonight and (A major) feel
what the (F sharp minor) feeling's like (B minor)
love (love)
over and (E minor) over again
(G minor) let me take you where you've
(B minor) never been (G major) (F sharp minor) (G major) (Asus4)
As I'm (D major) holding you,
I can (F sharp minor) see it in your eyes
(A major) girl, you've (Asus4) never had (A minor)
your (G major) secrets satisfied
but (G minor) it could be the way as I told (D major) you
just let me (Asus4) have (A major) my way
if you (G minor) let me have my way
then I can (D major) show you
come on and stay (B minor) (stay)
stay here with (E minor) me tonight and (A major) feel
what the feeling's (F sharp minor) like (B minor)
we'll make love (love)
over and over and over (E minor) again
(G minor) let me take you where you've
nev (B minor) er been (G major) (F sharp minor) (G major)
(Asus4) so baby won't (B minor) you stay
(E minor) (G major) (stay)
let me, (F sharp minor) let me, let me love (G major) you
(Asus4) come on over and (B minor) stay (E minor) (stay)
don't (G major) leave, (F sharp minor) you just can't (G major) leave,
(Asus4) you gotta stay (B minor) (E minor) (G major) (stay)
if you stay, (F sharp minor) we can (G major) lay
to the (Asus4) break of day
so... (B minor) (won't you (E minor) (G major) stay)
see I've (F sharp minor) been watching you and I know (G major) what's
on your mind (Asus4) (G major) (B minor) (E minor) (stay)
I'm not tryna take advantage (G major) of you
I'm (F sharp minor) here for you to take advantage (G major) of me
so (Asus4) it's a fair exchange,
you know (G major) robbery (won't (B minor) (E minor) (G major) you stay)
you got what I need, (F sharp minor) (G major) and I think I got what (Asus4) you need,
so... (G major) (B minor) (E minor) (stay)
we (G major) got to get together
if (F sharp minor) we don't and (G major) the sun comes up tomorrow (Asus4) we
might both (B minor) be great (won't you stay)
so (E minor) (G major) don't try play so hard,
everybody's got a (F sharp minor) weakness (G major)
I'll (Asus4) tell you mine if you tell me
yours (B minor) (E minor) (stay)
(G major) mine is my head, (F sharp minor) I like (G major) for it to (Asus4) (G major) (B minor)
be(won't you stay) stroked (E minor) and stroked (G major) (F sharp minor) (G major) (Asus4)
so now you come along (B minor)
(G major) (B minor) (E minor) (stay)
tell me yours (G major)
Millie: no I (F sharp minor)
Isaac: come on, (G major) what is it
Millie: you see, (Asus4) you famous for your (B minor) head,

advantage of the situation (F sharp minor)
Issac: well that's OK (G major) too,

Isaac: I know (G major) you do,
I can see (A major) the advantage (G major) in (E minor) you right now
Millie: there's a whole (G major) lot of things I can (F sharp minor) do to you but (G major)
taking advantage wouldn't be one of them (B minor) (E minor)
Isaac: OK let's forget about the ad (G major) vantage thing,
let's talk about these thing (F sharp minor) s you can do to me (G major) (Asus4)
millie: no
Isaac: what (B minor) about (E minor) them
Millie: i (G major) don't know,
I shouldn't let (F sharp minor) you know about these (G major) things (Asus4)
Isaac: but I wanna know (B minor) (E minor)
Millie: see, (G major) you're a world wide (F sharp minor) man, you've (G major) (Asus4) been all around the country, (A major) all over other (E minor) countries, getting (G major) all different kind (B minor) (F sharp minor) s of lovin and (G major) (Asus4) you might have too much ex (G major) perience,
you make (E minor) it too good to me (G major) and (F sharp minor) I'd wake up in the middle of the (G major) night one morning (Asus4) and something like that, (B minor) (G major) (B minor) thinking about (E minor) you and (G major) all hell just might (F sharp minor) break loose, I don't know (G major) (Asus4)
(G major) Isaac: well (E minor) if it breaks loose (G major) I'll be there and speaking of (F sharp minor) being (G major) all around the world,
you've been all around the (Asus4) world too so (A major) I be taking a chance, even exposing my feeling (E minor) s to you
Millie: well I must admit one
thing
Isaac: what's that?
Millie: a man of your (G major) caliber,
do deserve to have something as good as this
Isaac :(laughs) that's
(F sharp minor) why I want it
Millie: you deserve no less than the
best, you know what I mean
Isaac: yeah I (G major) know what you mean
Millie: but I don't know, you see, men have
(Asus4) always tried to have their way
but this you can't believe a word they say, yes it's true the times before love
has let me down, can I (E minor) depend on you, to turn this fate around?
what I'm trying to say is,
is (G major) will you make it better if you had your way?
I've always tried to do what's right, but (F sharp minor) my sense of reasoning seems a little bit off tonight,
I've... my time to do wrong. (G major) will you be around later on?
what I'm trying to say is, is (Asus4) will you make
it better if you have your way?
I wanna (G major) stay (stay)
here with you tonight
I wanna feel, what the feeling's like
and love (E minor) (love)
over and over again
come and take me where I've never been
oh baby, Whuu
I wanna (G major) stay (stay)
tell me it's OK, I wanna stay
Isaac: sure
Millie: tell me it's OK love
I wanna stay baby and love all night
I wanna (F sharp minor) stay baby till the early morning (G major) light
I wanna stay, stay, stay,
stay, stay baby
Uh Huh

if I stay, we gonna (G major) love all night
tell me baby it's gonna be alright
alright baby, alright, alright, alright, all night

(end)
