Stay

	  		E				        B  
I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall   
E				    B   
And I've been laying here praying, praying she won't call   
            F#m  
It's just another call from home   
       A			       E       B   
You'll get it and be gone and I'll be crying    
E			   B   
I'll be begging you baby, beg you not to leave   
E				    B   
But I'll be left here waiting' 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 dying   
F#m			 A   
What do I have to do to make you see   
F#m	   A		B   
She can't love you like me   

               E   
Why don't you stay   
                A   
I'm down on my knees   
                       F#m   
I'm so tired of being lonely   
                           B   
Don't I give you what you need   
         B            C#m   
When she calls you to go   
                              B   
There's one thing you should know   
                           F#m      A   
We don't have to live this way   
                     E       B   F#m   A   B   
Baby, why don't you stay
   
E			   B   
You keep telling me baby there will come a time   
E			           B   
When you will leave her arms and forever be in mine   
       F#m   
Well I don't think that's the truth   
       A                                       E         B   
And I don't like being used and I'm tired of waiting   
F#m                     A   
It's too much pain to have to bare   
F#m         A                B   
To love a man you have to share   

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

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

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