Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
Late afternoons and
ochre walls
Keep an eye out for things that glow
Dm 
C 
Leaves and trees and fairy glens
D 
Double light when the sun snakes in
But a woman who curls up beside you
And breathes on the back of your ear
Dm 
F 
C 
Soft skin and warm shoulders
D 
More special than any treasure
of the deep
Take care of the things you've got
because they're precious
Put you to the ground,
Dm 
F 
C 
D 
you'll hear them calling
If you strip back your skin,
you'll feel it within
I want you to stay,
I want you to stay,
F 
C 
D 
I want you to stay
We are not bound
by weddings and children
They are the flimsiest things
Dm 
F 
C 
I've learnt a man won't
stay for babies
D 
You've learnt all men won't
stay for rings
But we have late afternoons
and ochre walls
Our eyes wide open
for things that glow
Dm 
F 
C 
Double light mornings
when the sun sneaks in
D 
Dm 
D 
And quiet moments at night just
C 
listening
F 
C

Take care of the things you've got
because they're precious
Put you to the heat of the ground,
F 
C 
you'll hear them callin'
D 
If you strip back your skin,
you'll feel it within
I want you to stay,
I want you to stay,
C
