A E I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall A E And I've been laying here praying, praying he won't call Bm It's just another call from home D A E You’ll get it and be gone and I'll be crying And I'll be begging you, baby, beg you not to leave But I'll be left here waiting With my Heart on my sleeve Oh, for the next time we'll be here Seems like a million years and I think I'm dying Bm D What do I have to do to make you see Bm D E He can't love you like me Chorus: A Why don't you stay G I'm down on my knees Bm I'm so tired of being lonely E Don't I give you what you need C#/F F#m When he calls you to go D There's one thing you should know Bm D E We don't have to live this way A Baby, why don't you stay You keep telling me, baby, there will come a time When you will leave his arms and forever be in mine But I don't think that's the truth And I don't like being used And I'm tired of waiting It's too much pain to have to bear To love a girl you have to share Chorus Bm I can't take it any longer D But my will is getting stronger A E And I think I know just what I have to do Bm I can't waste another minute D After all that I've put in it A I've given you my best E Why does he get the best of you Bm So next time you find D E You want to leave his bed for mine Chorus: Why don't you stay, I'm up of my knees I'm so tired of being lonely You can't give me what I need When he begs you not to go There is one thing you should know I don't have to live this way Baby, why don't you stay Baby, why don't you stay You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA Bm C# D E F F#m G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
