DA I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall DA And I've been laying here praying, praying she won't call Em It's just another call from home GDA You’ll get it and be gone and I'll be crying DA I'll be begging you baby, beg you not to leave DA But I'll be left here waiting' with my heart on my sleeve Em Oh for the next time we'll be here GDA Seems like a million years, and I think I'm dying
EmG What do I have to do to make you see EmGA She can't love you like me
D Why don't you stay G I'm down on my knees D/F#Em I'm so tired of being lonely A Don't I give you what you need A#ºBm When she calls you to go AG There's one thing you should know D/F#EmG We don't have to live this way A (D) Baby, why don't you stay
DAEmGA
DA You keep telling me baby there will come a time DA When you will leave her arms and forever be in mine Em But I don't think that's the truth GDA And I don't like being used and I'm tired of waiting
EmG It's too much pain to have to bare EmGA To love a man you have to share
D Why don't you stay G I'm down on my knees D/F#Em I'm so tired of being lonely A Don't I give you what you need A#ºBm When she calls you to go AG There's one thing you should know D/F#EmG We don't have to live this way AD Baby, why don't you stay
Em I can't take it any longer G But my will is getting stronger DA 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 D I've given you my best A Why does she get the best of you Em So next time you find GA You want to leave her bed for mine
D Why don't you stay G I'm up off my knees D/F#Em I'm so tired of being lonely A You can't give me what I need A#ºBm When she begs you not to go AG There's one thing you should know D/F#EmG I don't have to live this way ADAEmGAD Baby why don't you stay
