Ellie Goulding - Wish I Stayed: chords

  A
Why Can't we speak another language
             C#m
one we all agree on
  A
why when men look outside do they see houses
                    C#m
instead of fields they grew from
 A
we are constantly uprooted from them
                        C#m
making us tiresome and fearful
 A
can you get up right now
              C#m
and endeavor freefall

              A
Caus'you can fall if you want to
it's just a matter of how far
        C#m
you've treasured your home town
you've forgotten where you are
              A
and it will stay with you
til' your mind's been found
       C#m
and it has been found wondering around.

Chorus:
            E
Without a skipping rope
A trampoline
    G#m
A Crafty smoke
                       C#m
they've made a simpler way to give up
           E
it's the simple ways
of getting payed
     G#m
the carelessness of lying awake
      C#m
oh i wish I stayed
       A
I wish I stayed
      C#m
I wish I stayed

Patterns all arranged in my background
These pillars and forks keeping
this country on form
Letters were all sent with no addresses,
so that people can't discover
We're always undercover

Why do I always draw triangles
instead of the words this paper so deserves?
Cause you see, I don't own my clothes but
I own my mind
And it's not what you've lost
But it's what you find

Chorus:
With that skipping rope, the trampoline
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope
It's the simple ways of getting paid
The carelessness of running away,
no, I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed

Cause you can fall if you want to
It's just a matter of how far
You've treasured your hometown
You've forgotten where you are
And it will stay with you until
your mind's been found
And it has been found wandering around

Chorus:
With that skipping rope, the trampoline
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope
It's the simple ways of getting paid
The carelessness of running away,
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
