[Verse 1]
B                            G#m            B
You used to tell me that you loved me every day
B             G#m
I didn't know what to say
B                   G#m            B
But there never any doubt I always knew
B                G#m
That to me you'd stay true

[Pre-Chorus]
E                           G#m
But my heart never could be so poetic
E                        F#
So all my transgressions you permitted

[Chorus]
F#              E
Why did you stay?
E           G#m
Why did you stay?
G#m         E
Why did you stay?
       Ebm              F#
When I treated you that way

[Verse 2]
B        G#m
I was so cruel (but he was so kind)
B                       G#m
Why did I feel I had to leave you behind
B             G#m
But he was so sweet
      B                                                      
Oh yeah... 
N.C.                                     F#
Well I've had just about enough of sweet

[Chorus]
F#              E
Why did you stay?
E           G#m
Why did you stay?
G#m         E
Why did you stay?
       Ebm              F#
When I treated you that way

[Outro]
            E
Why did you stay?
E           G#m
Why did you stay?
G#m         E
Why did you stay?
E           G#m
Why did you stay?
G#m         E
Why did you stay?
E            G#m
Why did you stay?
