[Verse 1]
D                                       A
  I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall

D                                    A
  And I've been laying here praying, praying she won't call

           Em
It's just another call from home

       G                              D     A
You’ll get it and be gone and I'll be crying

D                           A
  I'll be begging you baby, beg you not to leave

D                                     A
  But I'll be left here waiting' with my heart on my sleeve

           Em
Oh for the next time we'll be here

      G                                     D      A
Seems like a million years, and I think I'm dying
[Pre-Chorus]
Em                        G
  What do I have to do to make you see

Em          G             A
  She can't love you like me
[Chorus]
               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#dim         Bm
When she calls you to go

                   A          G
There's one thing you should know

                  D/F#     Em   G
We don't have to live this way

       A           (D)
Baby, why don't you stay
[Interlude] D A Em G A [Verse 2]
D                          A
  You keep telling me baby there will come a time

D                                     A
  When you will leave her arms and forever be in mine

       Em
But I don't think that's the truth

      G                                      D        A
And I don't like being used and I'm tired of waiting
[Pre-Chorus]
Em                      G
  It's too much pain to have to bear

Em          G                A
  To love a man you have to share
[Chorus]
               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#dim          Bm
When she calls you to go

                   A          G
There's one thing you should know

                  D/F#     Em   G
We don't have to live this way

       A             D
Baby, why don't you stay
[Bridge]
        Em
I can't take it any longer

       G
But my will is getting stronger

      D                                 A
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

    G                             A
You want to leave her bed for mine
[Chorus]
               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#dim            Bm
When she begs you not to go

                   A           G
There's one thing you should know

                D/F#      Em    G
I don't have to live this way

      A             (D)
Baby why don't you stay
[Outro]
D   A    Em          G A
   Yeah,    Oh, woah
D
