Em You'd better believe I'm coming Bm You'd better believe what I say D You'd better hold on to your promises C Because you bet, you'll get what you deserve She's going to leave him over She's gonna take her love away So much for your eternal vows Well, it does not matter anyway Em Bm Why can't you stay here a while D C Stay here a while, stay with me Chorus: Em Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Bm all the promises we made D All the meaningless and empty words C I prayed, prayed, prayed Em Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Bm all the promises we broke D All the meaningless and empty words C I spoke, spoke, spoke Em Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Bm Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo D Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo C Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo What of all the things that you taught me? What of all the things that you'd say? What of all your prophetic preaching? You're just throwing it all away Maybe we should burn the house down Have ourselves another fight Leave the cobwebs in the closet 'Cause tearing them out is just not right Why can't you stay here awhile? Stay here awhile, stay with me, oh-oh Chorus Em Bm Oh oh oh oh oh D Oh oh oh oh oh C Oh oh oh oh oh Chorus Em Oh eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh, eh Bm Oh eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh, eh D Oh eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh, eh C Oh eh, oh eh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Em Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Bm Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo D Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo C Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Em Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Bm Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo D Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo C Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC  D  Em  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
