Intro: 
| F#m | E | D | Bm | x3 
 
verse 1: 
A 
Walking through the trees 
               C#m 
I never really know what's on your mind 
           D                                   A      E 
Is it ever me, or just someone you've left behind? 
 
verse 2: 
A 
Floating through a dream, 
                   C#m 
I never could make out the words you said 
              D                                   A      E 
Sentences are bouncing back and forth inside my head 
 
Chorus: 
    A 
You don't have to leave 
               C#m 
You could just stay here with me 
               D 
Forget all the party police 
              A              E 
We could find comfort in debauchery 
 
Instrumental: 
| F#m | E | D | Bm | x2 
 
verse 3: 
A 
Fighting through the fog 
                   C#m 
I can't believe it rained all summer long 
                   D                                        A       E 
When every day's a hurricane, you know there's something wrong 
 
verse 4: 
  A 
I see you every day 
                    C#m 
It's hard to figure out what happens next 
           D                               A      E 
I cannot decipher conversation in your head 
 
Chorus: 
    A 
You don't have to leave 
               C#m 
You could just stay here with me 
               D 
Forget all the party police 
              A              E 
We could find comfort in debauchery 
 
    F#m                E 
You don't have to leave 
               D                Bm 
You could just stay here with me 
               F#m         E 
Forget all the local police 
              D            Bm 
We could find comfort in biology 
 
Bridge: 
   F#m         E           D 
We wrote our names on the overpass, 
       Bm 
And I hope it lasts forever 
Don't have to, you don't have to 
 
Chorus: 
    A 
You don't have to leave 
               C#m 
You could just stay here with me 
               D 
Forget all the party police 
              A              E 
We could find comfort in debauchery 
 
    F#m                E 
You don't have to leave 
               D                Bm 
You could just stay here with me 
               F#m         E 
Forget all the local police 
              B7/D#                D 
We could find- If you don't want to, you don't have to
