[Verse 1]
A                                  F#m
Hey now baby, you're looking for a place to sleep.
    D                  E                     A
The night is cold, the city's big; You're in trouble deep.
                                         F#m
Something tells me: You shouldn't be the lonely one.
     D              E                        A
I'll make you mine, make you feel you're the only one.

[Chorus]
           D            E                  A
And I say: Why, why, why don't you keep me company?
  D            E                 A
I try, try, try not to be in the way.
G            Bm          A
I could help to end this misery.
   D             E                G      A G    A
Oh why, why, why don't you let me stay?

[Verse 2]
                               F#m
All those people, putting on a weary face.
D            E                 A
Turn away as if to say: It's a real disgrace.
                                F#m
Don't be shy now, take a step into the light.
     D                E                      A
I'll feed your heart, feed your soul to your appetite.

[Chorus]
           D            E                  A
And I say: Why, why, why don't you keep me company?
  D             E                A
I try, try, try not to be in the way.
G            Bm          A
I could help to end this misery.
   D             E                A
Oh why, why, why don't you let me stay?

[Bridge]
    C#m            D
Our love, would be innocent.
       A        F#m       G
Oh, so innocent, in every way. (stop)

  And I say: Why, why, why don't you keep me company?
  D            E                 A
I try, try, try not to be in the way.
G            Bm          A
I could help to end this misery.
   D            E                 A
Oh why, why, why don't you let me stay?

[Outro]
   D            E                 A
Oh why, why, why don't you let me stay?
    D            E                 G      A G    A
Mh, why, why, why don't you let me stay?
