  D                  D#
When you look at me tell me what you see
 D                   D#
Do you see a man or just a jagged outline of one?
 D                       D#                     D
Do you hear my words, or do they go straight through you?

 G           F      G#       G
We get it together now and then
                F  G#     G
But I can feel we won't again
                F       G#         G       A
Still I can't stop this endless strain of you

Listen to my words and talk the sadness that I bring you
I'll leave you today, 'cos I am nothing to you

Chorus:
       G                  D
Oh-oh make me stay a bit longer
         G                       D
Make my heart and my body get stronger
          G                  Em               D
Make me stay, don't send me away or I'll be alone
 G                  D
Make me stay a bit longer
         G                       D
Make my heart and my body get stronger
          G                   Em              D  A A# A
Make me stay, don't send me away or I'll be alone

When you look at me tell me what you see
Do you see a man or just a jagged outline of one?
Do you hear my words, or do they go straight through you?

Chorus
