Buffy The Vampire Slayer - I Wish I Could Stay

• F

GILES
F          F#dim         G        D   Am
You're not ready for the world outside.
F        F#dim              G          D    Am
You keep pretending but you just can't hide.
F        C                Am               Bbsus2
I know I said that I'd be standing by your side
  Am     G
But I...
F               F#dim           G     D   Am
You're path's unbeaten and it's all uphill
F           F#dim           G     D       Am
And you can meet it but you never will.
F           C                  Am       Bbsus2
And I'm the reason that you're standing still.
   Am    G
But I...

               F       G
I wish I could say the right words
   Em                    F
To lead you through this land.
             Am         G/B
Wish I could play the father
    C               F
And take you by the hand.
             D#   Bbsus2
Wish I could stay here
    G# G#m)     D#
But now I understand...
    Cm(sus)         F
I'm standing in the way.

F         F#dim                 G       D   Am
The cries around you, you don't hear at all.
F          F#dim            G         D     Am
'Cause you know I'm here to take that call.
F           C                  Am                 Bbsus2
So you just lie there when you should be standing tall.
    Am    G
But I...

               F        G
I wish I could lay your arms down
    Em              F
And let you rest at last.
             Am         G/B
Wish I could slay your demons
    C                 F
But now that time has passed.
             D#   Bbsus2
Wish I could stay here,
     G# (G#m)          D#
Your stalwart standing fast.
    Cm(sus)             F
But I'm standing in the way.
    Cm(sus)             F
I'm just standing in the way.

Bm/D/A

Bm  Dmaj7 D    A(sus2) 
I'm under your spell.
Em
God, how can this be?

Playing with my memory.

Bm  Dmaj7     D            A(sus2)
You know I've been through hell.
Em
Willow, don't you see?
                    C
There'll be nothing left of me.
    B
You made me
