E
I been sitting here staring
            B
At the clock on the wall
E
And i've been laying here praying
  B
Praying she won't call
            A
It's just another call from home
       A
You'll get it and be gone
              E     B
And i'll be crying
E
I'll be begging you baby
 B
Beg you not to leave
E
But i'll be left here waiting
     B
With my heart on my sleeve
            A
Oh for the next time we'll be here
       A
Seems like a million years
                  E        B
 and i think i'm dying

A                        A
What do i have to do to make you see
F#m        A            B
She can't love you like me

               E
Why don't you stay
                A
I'm down on my knees
                       F#m
I'm so tired of being lonely
                           B
Don't i give you what you need
         B            C#m
When she calls you to go
                              B
There's one thing you should know
                           F#m     A
We don't have to live this way
                     E    B  F#m  A  B
Baby, why don't you stay

E
You keep telling me baby
   B
 there will come a time
E
When you will leave her arms
       B
 and forever be in mine
       F#m
Well i don't think that's the truth
       A
And i don't like being used
                   E    B
And i'm tired of waiting

F#m                     A
It's too much pain to have to bare
F#m         A                B
To love a man you have to share

               E
Why don't you stay
                A
I'm down on my knees
                       F#m
I'm so tired of being lonely
                           B
Don't i give you what you need
         B             C#m
When she calls you to go
                              A
There's one thing you should know
                           F#m      B
We don't have to live this way
                     E
Baby, why don't you stay

          F#m
I can't take it any longer
        A
But my will is getting stronger
       E                              B
And i think i know just what i have to do
         F#m
I can't waste another minute
       A
After all that i've put in it
      E
I've given you my best
             B
Why does she get the best of you
    F#m
So next time you find
     A                         B
You want to leave her bed for mine

               E
Why don't you stay
               A
I'm up off my knees
                       F#m
I'm so tired of being lonely
                          B
You can't give me what i need
         B                C#m
When she begs you not to go
                              A
There's one thing you should know
                          F#m        B
I don't have to live this way
                    E    B  F#m  A  B  E
Baby why don't you stay
