I Wont Stay For Long chords by David Crosby

[G#m] .
.
One, two, three.
I'm standing on the porch .
Like it's the edge [C#] of a cliff.
[B] .
[C#m].
Beyond the grass [G#m] and gravel.
Lies a certain abyss.
[F#] .
[C#] [B] And I don't think I [E] will try [G#m] it [F#] today .
I'm [G#m] facing a squall light .
Of a thousand year storm.
[C#m] I don't know if [G#m] I'm dying.
Or about to be born.
[G#] But [B] I'd like to be [E] with you [G#m] [C#m] [F#] today.
Yes, [E] I'd like to [B] be [E] with you [G#m] [B] today.
And I won't stay for long .
[E] [G#m] I've got a place of my own.
A little slice.
[F#] .
[C#m] There's a sliver of air.
Between [G#m] the water and the [C#] ice .
It's [F#] where [F#m] I live.
Where [E] I [F#m] breathe.
[E] .
[B] An abandoned [E] song .
[G#m] It echoes through this well I've fallen in .
If I [C#m] could just remember the [G#m].
smell of your [C#] skin.
Then I could [F#m] live.
I could breathe.
[E].
[B] I could breathe .
[G#m] I'm asking perfect strangers.
If I look to be alright.
I [C#m].
feel like I lost [G#m] an anchor.
In the ocean of [D#m] my night .
And [B] I don't want you to [E].
see [G#m] me this [B] way.
I [F#] [G#m] won't tell a soul .
I'll [B] only worship the sun.
I [C#m] won't turn around [B] to find you.
[G#m] When I'm all a-do-da.
[F#] I .
[B] just need to [E] be close [G#m] today.
[F#] I .
[B] [E] need to [G#m] be with you [B] today.
And I won't stay for [E] long .
I've [G#m] got a place of my own.
A little [B] slice.
[F#] There's .
[B] [C#m] a sliver of air.
Between the water [C#] and the ice.
It's [F#] where [F#m] I live .
Where I breathe.
[E] .
[B] An abandoned [E] song .
It [G#m] echoes through this well I've fallen in .
If I could [C#m] just hold on to [G#m] the smell of [C#] your skin.
I could [F#m] live.
[E] I could [F#m] breathe.
[B] I could breathe .
[F#] .
[B] .
[N] .
