My whole life waiting for the right

time
    E              B  F#
To tell you how I feel.
             B                    G#m
You know I try to tell you that I need you.
              E
Here I am without you.
           B                   F#
I feel so lost but what can I do?

'Cause I know this love seems real
       C#m       B/D#    F#
But I don't know how to feel.

Chorus:
    B
We say goodbye in the pouring rain
    F#
And I break down as you walk away.
G#m   E
Stay,  stay.
       B
'Cause all my life I felt this way
    F#
But I could never find the words to say
G#m  E
Stay, stay.

Alright
Everything is alright
Since you came along
And before you
I had nowhere to run to
And nothing to hold on to
I came so close to giving it up
And I wonder if you know
How it feels to let you go?

Chorus

     B
So change your mind
     F#
And say you're mine.
       G#m
Don't leave tonight
E
Stay.

Chorus

Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay, stay, stay
Stay with me
