Capo 2 
 
      C                         F                 C
Every wish, every desire, every pain that's in my heart
            C                    G               E7
I blew them all away the day I namaste'd myself apart
         Am               C            F               C
Sweating men with bulging eyes came in bearing lies to give
           C                          G                   E7
At first I was afraid to die, now I'm scared that I might live
Am
Stay with me
G
Stay with me
 
 
Chorus:
        F      C              F         C
For the day is passed and the evening's come
         G             E7
Be my companion in the way
 Am               C              G                   E7
Accept the things you cannot and things that you can change
      Am            C            G              C
It'll be the way it is, this and not some other way
 
In the mornings when I wake up, I'm afraid that I might die
So I try and stay awake and I keep a watchful eye
In the fog of war we've burned alive the saints along with sinners
I will be with you today in paradise but don't come in for dinner
Stay with me
Stay with me

Chorus
 

I watch no one fight for nothing against 20 godless fiends
You could fill a man with gold and there'd still be room for greed
So I rent a mind and borrow words for thoughts I cannot say
This will be the way it is, this and not some other way
This will be the way it is, this and not some other way
