Introduction:
C
Well, I no longer can recall
F C
All the times you made me crawl
F G G7
All the times you made me hang my head and cry
C
But still the teardrops fall
F C
And lord what's worst of all
G F C
I just ain't got the nerve to say goodbye
F
I'm waitin' for the day
C
When I can hide my love away
F G G7
And stand up like a man so tall and free
F
Then you'll be the one to say
C C/B Am
Oh darlin', can't you stay
G F C
I don't know what I'd do if you should leave me
C
Oh girl, I don't know why
F C
You always have to try
F G G7
To hurt me to make me feel ashamed
C
Oh, but someday by and by
F C
You're gonna be the one to cry
G F C
And walk the floor and sadly call my name
F
I'm waitin' for the day
C
When I can hide my love away
F G G7
And stand up like a man so tall and free

Oh darlin', can't you stay
G F C
I don't know what I'd do if you should leave me

Oh, but it looks like until then
F C
I'll throw pride to the wind
F G G7
And try to make believe that I don't know
C
That a day is comin' when
F C
You won't do me wrong again
G F C
And I will be the one to turn and go
F
I'm waitin' for the day
C
When I can hide my love away
F G G7
And stand up like a man so tall and free

Then you'll be the one to say

Oh darlin', can't you stay
G F C
I don't know what I'd do if you should leave me
