Chords

F#                                     C#
I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall

F#                                   C#
And I've been laying here praying, praying she won't call

             G#m
It's just another call from home

       B                                 F#      C#
You’ll get it and be gone and I'll be crying

F#                         C#
I'll be begging you baby, beg you not to leave

F#                                  C#
But I'll be left here waiting' with my heart on my sleeve

            G#m
Oh for the next time we'll be here

       B                                     F#     C#
Seems like a million years, and I think I'm dying

G#m                      B
What do I have to do to make you see

G#m        B            C#
She can't love you like me
[Chorus]
               F#
Why don't you stay

                B
I'm down on my knees

                        G#m
I'm so tired of being lonely

                           C#
Don't I give you what you need

          A#m         D#m
When she calls you to go

                              B
There's one thing you should know

                           G#m      C#
We don't have to live this way

                     F#        C#   G#m   B   C#
Baby, why don't you stay

F#                         C#
You keep telling me baby there will come a time

F#                                 C#
When you will leave her arms and forever be in mine

       G#m
Well I don't think that's the truth

       B                                       F#         C#
And I don't like being used and I'm tired of waiting

G#m                    B
It's too much pain to have to bare

G#m        B                C#
To love a man you have to share
[Chorus]
               F#
Why don't you stay

                B
I'm down on my knees

                       G#m
I'm so tired of being lonely

                            C#
Don't I give you what you need

         A#m          D#m
When she calls you to go

                              B
There's one thing you should know

                           G#m      C#
We don't have to live this way

                     F#
Baby, why don't you stay

          G#m
I can't take it any longer

        B
But my will is getting stronger

       G#m                              C#
And I think I know just what I have to do

         G#m
I can't waste another minute

      B
After all that I've put in it

      G#m
I've given you my best

              C#
Why does she get the best of you

    G#m
So next time you find

     B                         C#
You want to leave her bed for mine

               F#
Why don't you stay

                B
I'm up off my knees

                       G#m
I'm so tired of being lonely

                          C#
You can't give me what I need

          A#m            D#m
When she begs you not to go

                               B
There's one thing you should know

                          G#m        C#
I don't have to live this way

                    F#       C#   G#m   B   C#   F#
Baby why don't you stay
