Chords

[Intro] G Am F C G [Verse]
G
Friends break up, friends get married

Am
Strangers get born, strangers get buried

F
Trends change, rumors fly through new skies

     C                    G
But I'm right where you left me

G
Matches burn after the other

Am
Pages turn and stick to each other

F
Wages earned and lessons learned

        C                   G
But I, I'm right where you left me
[Pre-Chorus]
G                              Am
Help, I'm still at the restaurant

                               F
Still sitting in a corner I haunt
Cross-legged in the dim light
C                             G
They say, "What a sad sight," I

G                                  Am
I swear you could hear a hair pin drop

                               F
Right when I felt the moment stop
Glass shattered on the white cloth
C                   G  Dm
Everybody moved on, I, I stayed there

                     C
Dust collected on my pinned-up hair

G                    Dm
They expected me to find somewhere

                         C              G
Some perspective, but I sat and stared right where
[Chorus]
G                  Am                   F
You left me, you left me no, oh, you left me no

      C                        G
You left me no choice but to stay here forever
[Interlude] Dm C G [Verse 1]
F                             C
People like you always want back

                      G
The love they gave away

                             Am
And people like me wanna believe you

                         F
When you say you've changed

                           C
The more I think about it now

              G
The less I know

                         Am
All I know is that you drove us

G
Off the road
[Chorus]
F                                C
(Stay) Hey, all you had to do was stay

                            G
Had me in the palm of your hand, then

                           Am
Why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in?

F                                  C
(Stay) Hey, now you say you want it back

                        G                          Am
Now that it's just too late, well, could've been easy
All you had to do was (Stay) [Post-Chorus]
 F                           C
All you had to do was (Stay)

                            G
All you had to do was (Stay)

                   Am
All you had to do was
[All You Had to Do Was Stay Bridge]
G
Let me remind you

F        C          G
This was what you wanted (Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)

Am
You ended it

F        C        G
You were all I wanted (Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)

G
But not like this
[Interlude] C [Right Where You Left Me Bridge]
G*                                       Am*
Did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen?

                                           F*
Time went on for everybody else, she won't know it

                                    C*
She's still twenty-three inside her fantasy

            G*           G
How it was supposed to be

                                            Am
Did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion?

                                              F
Breakups happen every day, you don't have to lose it

                                      C
She's still twenty-three inside her fantasy

                        G
And you're sitting in front of me
[Pre-Chorus]
              Am
At the restaurant

                              F
When I was still the one you want
Cross-legged in the dim light
 C                         G
Everything was just right, I

                          Am
I could feel the mascara run

                              F
You told me that you met someone
Glass shattered on the white cloth
C                 G
Everybody moved on

G                              Am
Help, I'm still at the restaurant

                               F
Still sitting in a corner I haunt
Cross-legged in the dim light
C                              G Dm
They say, "What a sad sight," I, I stayed there

                      C
Dust collected on my pinned-up hair

G                        Dm
I'm sure that you got a wife out there

                              C                 G
Kids and Christmas, but I'm unaware 'cause I'm right where

   Dm
I cause no harm, mind my business

        C                   G                           Dm
If our love died young, I can't bear witness, and it's been so long

                       C                 G
If you ever think you got it wrong, I'm right where
[Chorus]
                  Am                   F
You left me, you left me no, oh, you left me no

      C                        G
You left me no choice but to stay here forever

Am
So all you had to do was stay?

F
and all you had to do was stay

C
all you had to do was stay

G                         C*
all you had to do was stay
