Lyrics & Chords
Full Song
Verse 1
Am F C
Guess it’s true, I’m not good at a one night stand,
Am F C
But I still need love ’cause I’m just a man.
Am F C
These nights never seem to go to plan,
Am F C
I don’t want you to leave, will you hold my hand?
Chorus
Am F C
Oh won’t you stay with me,
Am F C
‘Cause you’re all I need.
Am F C
This ain’t love, it’s clear to see,
Am F C
But darling, stay with me.
How to Play
Step-by-Step Guide
1

2
Practice the changes
Switch slowly between the two hardest chords in a loop until the move feels automatic — no strumming yet.

Bring in a simple down-strum once the changes are smooth, then build up to the song’s rhythm.
