Intro: Eb Gm

Verse 1:
Eb                                    Eb    Gm
 I know mourning is mourning and we heal differently
                      Eb
Right now it's all I see
                     Eb          Gm
In my brokenness, I found some peace
      Bb                     Eb
This mourning wakes my memories
                             Eb          Gm
When I got it wrong and you let me know
                                      Eb
When I got it right and you told me so
                         Eb 
Slow at first, but it's rushing now
        Gm
When I look for you and you're not around
       Bb
Don't let me drown

Chorus:
Eb
I want to keep you forever, my love
     Gm                           Bb
But wanting is never enough, so stay with me
Eb                   F                         Gm
I need somebody to save me, I'm caught in a flood
  Bb
Stay with me, stay with me
Eb
I want some more time, I can't give you up
     Gm                            Bb
One lifetime is never enough, so stay with me
 Eb                        F
More than a body, you're more than my heart
            Gm
You're my blood
  Bb                      Eb
Stay with me, stay with me

Verse 2:
                                   Eb     Gm
If there's no cure and there's no medicine
                                  Eb
Do we count the days until the end?
                         Eb      Gm
We've got the count the fix is in
             Bb                   Eb
It's been decided before it begins
              Eb       Gm
Stay close, stay close
                                    Eb
No, I can't stay here and let you go
                      Eb 
I lost my faith, but Heaven knows
    Gm
It can't be your time to go
 Bb
Can't stay here and let you go

Chorus:
Eb
I want to keep you forever, my love
     Gm                           Bb
But wanting is never enough, so stay with me
Eb                   F                         Gm
I need somebody to save me, I'm caught in a flood
  Bb
Stay with me, stay with me
Eb
I want some more time, I can't give you up
     Gm                            Bb
One lifetime is never enough, so stay with me
 Eb                        F
More than a body, you're more than my heart
            Gm
You're my blood
  Bb                      Eb
Stay with me, stay with me

Bridge:
                                           Eb         Gm
Stay close and see the world you've never seen before
                                               Eb
Stay close, let's drink and I'll swallow it all
                                            Eb 
I lost my faith, clear at first but you're fading out
 Gm                                     Bb
Take my hand don't leave me now, don't leave me now

Stay close

Chorus:
Eb
I want to keep you forever, my love
     Gm                           Bb
But wanting is never enough, so stay with me
Eb                   F                         Gm
I need somebody to save me, I'm caught in a flood
  Bb
Stay with me, stay with me
Eb
I want some more time, I can't give you up
     Gm                            Bb
One lifetime is never enough, so stay with me
 Eb                        F
More than a body, you're more than my heart
            Gm
You're my blood
  Bb                      Eb
Stay with me, stay with me

Biography

Translated as “simple” in Welsh, SYML is the creation of Brian Fennell, Seattle-native and founding member of the band Barcelona. With a keen grasp on textural and emotive songwriting, Fennell combines bare piano, minimalist synth and string-scapes, and etherial vocals to create the sounds of SYML. Accumulating many previous placements in TV and film with Barcelona, Fennell is no stranger to crafting songs that evoke movement and image when you close your eyes.
