D A
I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall
D A
And I've been laying here praying, praying she won't call
Em
It's just another call from home
G D A
You’ll get it and be gone and I'll be crying
D A
I'll be begging you baby, beg you not to leave
D A
But I'll be left here waiting' with my heart on my sleeve
Em
Oh for the next time we'll be here
G D A
Seems like a million years, and I think I'm dying
Em G
What do I have to do to make you see?
Em G A
She can't love you like me
[CHORUS]
D
Why don't you stay?
G
I'm down on my knees
Em
I'm so tired of being lonely
A
Don't I give you what you need?
F#m Bm
When she calls you to go
G
There's one thing you should know
Em A
We don't have to live this way
D A Em G A
Baby, why don't you stay?
[VERSE 2]
(strummed)
D A
You keep telling me baby there will come a time
D A
When you will leave her arms and forever be in mine
Em
Well I don't think that's the truth
G D A
And I don't like being used and I'm tired of waiting
Em G
It's too much pain to have to bare
Em G A
To love a man you have to share
[CHORUS]
D
Why don't you stay?
G
I'm down on my knees
Em
I'm so tired of being lonely
A
Don't I give you what you need?
F#m Bm
When she calls you to go
G
There's one thing you should know
Em A
We don't have to live this way
D
Baby, why don't you stay?
[BRIDGE]
(3rd VERSE)
Em
I can't take it any longer
G
But my will is getting stronger
Em A
And I think I know just what I have to do
Em
I can't waste another minute
G
After all that I've put in it
Em
I've given you my best
A
Why does she get the best of you?
Em
So next time you find
G A
You want to leave her bed for mine
[CHORUS 2]
D
Why don't you stay?
G
I'm up off my knees
Em
I'm so tired of being lonely
A
You can't give me what I need
F#m Bm
When she begs you not to go
G
There's one thing you should know
Em A
I don't have to live this way
D A Em G A D
Baby why don't you stay
(On the chorus, Kristian Bush kinda does a walk down, on the first G to Em, and also the
to G, you don't really have to do it, but it adds a little more to it, but it also
fine with out it.)
