      A                     C#m
If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you,
        A                   C#m
Not to go but to stay in my arms,
           D            E
Would you walk out the door,
          A          D
Like you did once before?

Chorus:
  A
This time,
    E
Be different,
  A
Please stay,
       E
don't go.

If I call out your name like a prayer
Would you leave me alone with my tears?
Knowing I need you so
Would you still turn and go?

Chorus

   D                 A
I loved you before I even knew your name,
       E                  A      Bm A/C#
And I wanted to give you my heart,
      D                       A
But then you came back after leaving me one time,
    E                 D          C#m E
I knew that the heartache would start

If I called out your name like a song
That was written for you
You alone
Would you still hurt my pride?
Oh hey, how I cried

Chorus:
  A
This time,
    E
Be different,
   A        E
Please stay,
   A          E
Please stay, (don't go)
   A          E
Please stay, don't go
   A
Please stay.
