(Intro)
|(D) / /

(Verse 1)
I've (D)known it from the very start (Bm)
We’re a (Bm)shot in the darkest dark (G)
Oh no, oh no, (G) I'm unarmed
The (D)waiting is a sadness (Bm)
Fading into madness (G)
Oh no, oh no, (G) it won't stop 
 
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m standin' on a (D)tightrope alone (A)
I (A)hold my breath a little bit (G)longer
Halfway out the (D)door, but it won't close (A)
I'm (A)holdin' out hope for you to say, "Don't go"
I would stay forever if you (G) say, (D) “Don't (A) go"

(Chorus)
(G) Why'd you have to lead me (D)on?
Why you’d (D)have to twist the (A)knife?
Walk a-(A)way and leave me bleedin’, bleedin'?
(G) Why’d you whisper in the (D)dark
Just to leave me in the (A)night?
Now you silence has me (A)screamin', screamin'
(G) (Say) Say, "(Don't) (D)Don’t (Go) (A) go"
(A)I would stay forever if you (G) (Say) say, (A)“(Don't) Don't (Go) go"
(A) (Say, say, say, say) 
 
(Verse 2)
(D) Now I'm pacin' on shaky ground (Bm)
Strikе a match, (Bm) then you blow it out (G)
Oh no, oh no, (G) it's not fair (D)
'Cause you (D)kiss me and it stops timе (Bm)
And I'm (Bm)yours, but you're not mine (G)
Oh no, oh no, (G) you're not there

(Pre-Chorus)
(G) I'm standin' on the (D)sidewalk alone (A)
I (A)wait for you to drive by
(G) I'm tryna see the (D)cards that you won't (A)show
I'm about to fold un-(G)less you (Say) say, (D) "(Don't) Don’t (A) (Go) go"
I would stay forever if you (G) (Say) say, (D) "(Don't) Don’t (A) (Go) go"

(Chorus)
(G) Why'd you have to lead me (D)on?
(D) Why you’d have to twist the (A)knife?
Walk away and leave me (A)bleedin’, bleedin'?
(G) Why’d you whisper in the (D)dark
Just to leave me in the (A)night?
Now you silence has me (A)screamin', screamin'
(G) (Say) Say, (D)"(Don't) Don’t (A)(Go) go"
I would stay forever if you (G)(Say) say, (D)"(Don't) Don't (A)(Go) go"
(Say, say, say, say)

(Bridge)
(G)Why'd you have to (D)(Why'd you have to)
(D)Make me want you (A)(Make me want you)?
(A)Why'd you have to (Why'd you have to)
Give me nothin' (G)back?
(D)Why'd you have to (Why'd you have to)
(D)Make me love you (A)(Make me love you)?
I (A)said, "I love you," you say nothin' back

(Chorus)
(G) Why'd you have to lead me (D)on? (Oh)
(D) Why you'd have to twist the (A)knife?
Walk away and leave me (A)bleedin', bleedin'?
(G) Why’d you whisper in the (D)dark
Just to leave me in the (A)night?
Now you silence has me (A)screamin', screamin' (Woah)
(G)(Say) Say, (D)"(Don't) Don’t (A)(Go) go"
I would stay forever if you (G)(Say) say, (D)"(Don't) Don't (A)(Go) go" woah
(Say, say, say, say)
 
 
(Outro.)
But you (G)won't, but you (D)won't, but you (A)won't
I would stay forever if you (G) say, (D) "Don't (A)go"
But you (G)won't, but you (D)won't, but you (A)won’t - - - - -
