CAPO 2ND FRET


D 	  	  	  	        A
I''ve been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall
D 	  	  	  	      A
And I''ve been laying here praying, praying she won''t call
             Em
It''s just another call from home
       G 	  	  	  	  D 	  A
You''ll get it and be gone and I''ll be crying 
D 	  	  	    A
I''ll be begging you baby, beg you not to leave
D 	  	  	  	     A
But I''ll be left here waiting'' with my heart on my sleeve
            Em
Oh for the next time we''ll be here
       G 	  	  	  	      D 	     A
Seems like a million years, and I think I''m dying
Em 	  	  	  G
What do I have to do to make you see
Em 	    G 	  	 A
She can''t love you like me

CHORUS:
               D
Why don''t you stay
                G
I''m down on my knees
                        Em
I''m so tired of being lonely
                           A
Don''t I give you what you need
          F#m         Bm
When she calls you to go
                              G
There''s one thing you should know
                           Em      A
We don''t have to live this way
                     D        A   Em   G   A
Baby, why don''t you stay

D 	  	  	    A
You keep telling me baby there will come a time
D 	  	  	            A
When you will leave her arms and forever be in mine
       Em
Well I don''t think that''s the truth
       G                                       D         A
And I don''t like being used and I''m tired of waiting


Em                     G
It''s too much pain to have to bare
Em        G                A
To love a man you have to share

CHORUS
               D
Why don''t you stay
                G
I''m down on my knees
                       Em
I''m so tired of being lonely
                            A
Don''t I give you what you need
         F#m          Bm
When she calls you to go
                              G
There''s one thing you should know
                           Em      A
We don''t have to live this way
                     D  
Baby, why don''t you stay


          Em
I can''t take it any longer
        G
But my will is getting stronger
       Em                              A
And I think I know just what I have to do 
         Em
I can''t waste another minute
      G
After all that I''ve put in it
      Em
I''ve given you my best
              A
Why does she get the best of you
    Em
So next time you find
     G                         A
You want to leave her bed for mine

               D
Why don''t you stay
                G
I''m up off my knees
                       Em 
I''m so tired of being lonely
                          A
You can''t give me what I need
          F#m            Bm
When she begs you not to go
                               G
There''s one thing you should know
                          Em        A
I don''t have to live this way
                    D       A   Em   G   A   D
Baby why don''t you stay
