(CD “Enjoy The Ride”)

E                                    B                              
I been sittin' here starin' at the clock on the wall
E                                B                          
And I been layin' here prayin' prayin' she won't call
             F#m      
It's just another call from home 
            A                      E        B
And you'll get it and be gone and I'll be cryin'

     E                          B                     
And I'll be beggin' you, baby, beg you not to leave
E                                   B                
But I'll be left here waitin' with my heart on my sleeve
             F#m
Oh, for the next time we'll be here 
       A                           E         B
Seems like a million years and I think I'm dyin'

F#m                  A               E
What do I have to do to make you see
F#m         A           B 
She can't love you like me

Chorus
               E                    A
Why don't you stay, I'm down on my knees
                       F#m                               B
I'm so tired of bein' lonely, don't I give you what you need
                      C#m                                A 
When she calls you to go, there is one thing you should know
                            F#m  A     B                    E     B-F#m-A-B
We don't have to live this way,      baby, why don't you stay (yeah)

E                            B
You keep tellin' me, baby, there will come a time
E                                  B  
When you will leave her arms and forever be in mine
       F#m
But I don't think that's the truth 
       A                                       E        B
And I don't like bein' used and I'm tired 'a waitin'

F#m                A
It's too much pain to have to bear
F#m        A                B 
To love a man you have to share

Chorus
               E                     A
Why don't you stay, I'm down on my knees
                       F#m                               B
I'm so tired of bein' lonely, don't I give you what you need
                      C#m                                 A 
When she calls you to go, there is one thing you should know
                            F#m  A     B                  E     
We don't have to live this way,      baby, why don't you stay  

         F#m                        A        
I can't take it any longer, but my will is gettin' stronger
        E                               B
And I think I know just what I have to do
         F#m                        A
I can't waste another minute after all that I put in it
      F#m                             B
I've given you my best, why does she get the best of you
    F#m                         A                      B 
So next time you'll find, you wanna leave her bed for mine

Chorus
                E                  A
Why don't you stay, I'm up off my knees
                       F#m                                B
I'm so tired of bein' lonely, you can’t give me what you need
                     C#m                                A 
When she begs you to go, there is one thing you should know
                            F#m  A     B                  E    B-F#m-A-B-E
We don't have to live this way,      baby, why don't you stay
