(Capo on 2)

(Verse 1)
(D) I've been sitting here staring at the (A)clock on the wall
(D) And I've been laying here praying, (A)praying she won't call
It's just an-(Em)other call from home
You�fll (G)get it and be gone and I'll be (D)crying / / / (D) / / /
(D) I'll be begging you baby, (A)beg you not to leave
(D) But I'll be left here waiting' with my (A)heart on my sleeve
Oh for the (Em)next time we'll be here
Seems (G)like a million years, and I think I'm (D)dying / / / (A) / / /
 
(Pre-Chorus)
(Em) What do I have to do to (G)make you see
(Em) She can't (G)love you like me (A)
 
(Chorus)
Why don't you stay (D)
I'm down on my knees (G)
I'm so tired of (D/F#)being lone-(Em)ly
Don't I give you what you (A)need
When she (A#dim)calls you to go (Bm)
There's (A)one thing you should (G)know
We don't (D/F#)have to (Em)live this (G)way
Baby, (A)why don't you (D)stay
 
(Instrumental)
 / / / |(A) / / / |(G) / / / |(A) / / /
 
(Verse 2)
(D) You keep telling me baby (A)there will come a time
(D) When you will leave her arms and for-(A)ever be in mine
But I (Em)don't think that's the truth
And I (G)don't like being used and I'm tired of (D)waiting / / (A) / / /
 
(Pre-Chorus)
(Em) It's too much pain to (G)have to bear
(Em) To love a man you (G)have to (A)share
 
(Chorus)
Why don't you stay (D)
I'm down on my knees (G)
I'm so tired of (D/F#)being lone-(Em)ly
Don't I give you what you (A)need
When she (A#dim)calls you to go (Bm)
There's (A)one thing you should (G)know
We don't (D/F#)have to (Em)live this (G)way
Baby, (A)why don't you (D)stay
 
(Bridge)
I can't (Em)take it any longer
But my (G)will is getting stronger
And I (D)think I know just what I have to do (A)
I can't (Em)waste another minute
After (G)all that I've put in it
I've (D)given you my best
Why does she (A)get the best of you
So (Em)next time you find
You (G)want to leave her bed for (A)mine - - -
 
(Chorus)
Why don't you stay (D)
I'm up off my knees (G)
I'm so tired of (D/F#)being lone-(Em)ly
You can't give me what I (A)need
When she (A#dim)begs you not to go (Bm)
There's (A)one thing you should (G)know
I don't (D/F#)have to (Em)live this (G)way
Baby, (A)why don't you (D)stay / / / (A) / 
 
(Outro.)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, (A)woah (D) - - - - -
