[Verse 1]
[F#m]Millie[Bm],[G][F#m][Gm][Asus4][G][Asus4]
I've [A]been checking you [Bm]all night
you know you've made several trips to the [G]door but
you always find an excuse [F#m]to come back
[Gm]you really don't wanna go
and I think I [G]know why
[D]I know you've been in love
and been let [F#m]down
you [Am]think the the same thing
happens [G]everytime around
[Gm]But can turn it all and make i[D]t pay
[G]if I [Asus4]had my wa[A]y[Asus4][A]
You're [D]so afraid,
coz the [F#m]hurt within you cries
[Am]and love is just another
word for [G]pain and lies
but [Gm]I could reach right out and just hol[D]d you,
if I [Asus4]had my wa[A]y
if you [Gm]let me have my way
then I can [D]show you
so just [Bm]stay (stay)
stay here [Em]with me tonight and [A]feel
what the [F#m]feeling's [Bm]like
love (love)
over and [Em]over again
[Gm]let me take you where you've
[Bm]never been[G][F#m][G][Asus4]
As I'm [D]holding you,
I can [F#m]see it in your eyes
[A]girl, you've [Asus4]never had[Am]
your [G]secrets satisfied
but [Gm]it could be the way as[D] I told you
just let [Asus4]me have my way[A]
if you [Gm]let me have my way
then I can [D]show you
come on [Bm]and stay (stay)
stay here with [Em]me tonight and fe[A]el

[G]Millie: see, you're a world [F#m]wide man, y[G]ou've b[Asus4]een all around the countr[A]y, all over other countries,[Em] getting al[G]l different kinds of l[Bm]ovin[F#m] and you might h[G]ave [Asus4]too much experience,[G]
you make [Em]it too good to me[G] a[F#m]nd I'd wake up in the middle of the nigh[G]t one morning and [Asus4]something like that, thi[Bm]nking [G]ab[Bm]out you an[Em]d all hell[G] just might break loose,[F#m] I don't know[G][Asus4]
[G]Isaac: well [Em]if it breaks loose I'll [G]be there and speaking of b[F#m]eing all aro[G]und the world,
you've been all around the [Asus4]world too so [A]I be taking a chance, even exposing my feelings t[Em]o you
Millie: well I must admit one
thing
Isaac: what's that?
Millie: a man of your [G]caliber,
do deserve to have something as good as this
Isaac :(laughs) that's
[F#m]why I want it
Millie: you deserve no less than the
best, you know what I mean
Isaac: yeah I [G]know what you mean
Millie: but I don't know, you see, men have
[Asus4]always tried to have their way
but this you can't believe a word they say, yes it's true the times before love
has let me down, can I [Em]depend on you, to turn this fate around?
what I'm trying to say is,
is [G]will you make it better if you had your way?
I've always tried to do what's right, but [F#m]my sense of reasoning seems a little bit off tonight,
I've... my time to do wrong. [G]will you be around later on?
what I'm trying to say is, is [Asus4]will you make
it better if you have your way?
I wanna [G]stay (stay)
here with you tonight
I wanna feel, what the feeling's like
and love [Em](love)
over and over again
come and take me where I've never been
oh baby, Whuu
I wanna [G]stay (stay)
tell me it's OK, I wanna stay
Isaac: sure
Millie: tell me it's OK love
I wanna stay baby and love all night
I wanna [F#m]stay baby till the early morning l[G]ight
I wanna stay, stay, stay,
stay, stay baby
Uh Huh

if I stay, we gonna [G]love all night
tell me baby it's gonna be alright
alright baby, alright, alright, alright, all night
