Zach Bryan - Billy Stay: chords

A
Billy won't you stay
We've been up all night
D
Talking 'bout flowers from '65
A
The prince on that dress
You always liked
D
We were young enough
To go out and dance at night

A
We'd cross the street
And you'd hold my hand
D
Same man now
That you were back then
A
Young kids good for nothing
But high hoping
D
Broken, starving plastic ring
Perfect for eloping

A
Years went by fast
You were so good to me
D
Our children have children
Billy, how could it be
A
But 90 years is nothing
To some kids like us
D
So baby stick around
And tell a story just because

Chorus:
        E      A
Billy stay a while
 E                   D              A
Lately you've been slipping in and out
        E      A
Billy stay a child
 E                  D                 A
Tell me 'bout that girl you dreamed about
        E      A
Billy stay a while
 E              D         A
Tell me of the lovers who once were
        E      A
Billy stay a child
 E                  D                A
Tell me bout' that girl and how you loved her

A
Billy don't forget
Won't you keep on tryin'
D
I'll keep my ears open
To keep from crying
A
You're more handsome now
Than you were back then
D
And I'm the same girl you fell for
When we were kids

A
If love was enough
Then you'd stay forever
D
But I guess sometimes
That the end is better
A
Cause love turns to loss
As the time goes by
D
You don't know your own name
But you know mine

Chorus:
        E      A
Billy stay a while
 E                   D             A
Lately you've been slipping in and out
       E       A
Billy stay a child
 E                  D                 A
Tell me 'bout that girl you dreamed about
        E      A
Billy stay a while
 E              D         A
Tell me of the lovers who once were
        E      A
Billy stay a child
 E                  D                 A
Tell me bout' that girl and how you loved her

A
And you went back home
In your sleep last night
D
And I hear you whisper
"I love you goodbye"
A
But maybe your Heaven's 1965
D
With my hair in your face
On a long summer drive
    A
To me you'll never be
The times you forgot
     D
But all of our good times
And flowers you bought
