[Intro]
G D A Bm
[Verse 1]
G D A Bm
People like you always want back the love they gave away
G D A Bm
People like me want to believe you when you say that you've changed
G D A Bm
The more I think about it now the less I know
G D A
All I know is that you drove us off the road
Bm
All you had to do
[Chorus]
G D A
Was stay, all you had to do was stay
Bm G
Had me in the palm of your hand
D A Bm
Why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in
G D
Stay, hey, now you say you want it
A Bm
Back now that it's just too late
G D A
Well it could've been easy
Bm G D A Bm
all you had to do was stay
[Verse 2]
G D A
Here you are now calling me up
Bm G
But I don't know what to say
D A Bm
I've been picking up pieces of the mess you made
G D A Bm
People like you always want back the love they pushed aside
G D A Bm
But people like me are gone forever when you say goodbye
[Chorus]
G D A
Stay, all you had to do was stay
Bm G
Had me in the palm of your hand
D A Bm
Why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in
G D
Stay, hey, now you want it
A Bm
Back that it's just too late
G D A
Well it could've been easy
Bm G
all you had to do was stay
[Outro]
D A
Well it could've been easy
Bm G
all you had to do was stay
D A
Well it could've been easy
Bm G
all you had to do was stay
D A
Stay
Bm G D A
all you had to do was stay
Bm G
all you had to do was stay
Bm A G
all you had to do was stay
Bm A G
all you had to do was stay
Bm A G
all you had to do was stay
Bm A G
all you had to do was stay
