Say Don't Go

	  		 

Intro: D 

Verse 1:
D 
 I've known it from the very start 
Bm 
  We're a shot in the darkest dark 
G 
 Oh no, oh no, I'm unarmed 
D 
 The waiting is a sadness 
Bm 
  Fading into madness 
G 
 Oh no, oh no, it won't stop 

Pre-Chorus
G                  D          A 
 I'm standin' on a tightrope alone 
                              G 
I hold my breath a little bit longer 
                D                  A 
Halfway out the door, but it won't close 
                               G    D      A 
I'm holdin' out hope for you to say, "Don't go" 
                           G    D      A 
I would stay forever if you say, "Don't go" 


G                          D 
 Why'd you have to lead me on? 
                            A 
Why you'd have to twist the knife? 

Walk away and leave me bleedin', bleedin'? 
G                         D 
 Why'd you whisper in the dark 
                        A 
Just to leave me in the night? 

Now you silence has me screamin', screamin' 
G           D              A 
(Say) Say, "(Don't) don't (Go) go" 
                             G           D             A 
I would stay forever if you (Say) say, "(Don't) don't (Go) go" 

(Say, say, say, say) 


Verse 2:
D 
 Now I'm pacin' on shaky ground 
Bm 
  Strikе a match, then you blow it out 
G 
 Oh no, oh no, it's not fair 
D 
'Cause you kiss me and it stops timе 
Bm 
  And I'm yours, but you're not mine 
G 
 Oh no, oh no, you're not there 

Pre-Chorus
G                    D         A 
 I'm standin' on the sidewalk alone 

I wait for you to drive by 
G                  D                    A 
 I'm tryna see the cards that you won't show 
                              G           D             A 
I'm about to fold unless you (Say) say, "(Don't) don't (Go) go" 
                             G           D             A 
I would stay forever if you (Say) say, "(Don't) don't (Go) go" 


G                          D 
 Why'd you have to lead me on? 
                            A 
Why you'd have to twist the knife? 

Walk away and leave me bleedin', bleedin'? 
G                         D 
 Why'd you whisper in the dark 
                        A 
Just to leave me in the night? 

Now you silence has me screamin', screamin' 
G           D              A 
(Say) Say, "(Don't) don't (Go) go"

G                             D

Why'd you have to lead me on? (Oh) 
                            A 
Why you'd have to twist the knife? 

Walk away and leave me bleedin', bleedin'? 
G                         D
