CAPO 2ND FRET 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 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 Em I'm so tired of being lonely A Don't I give you what you need F#m Bm When she calls you to go G There's one thing you should know Em A We don't have to live this way D A Em G A Baby, why don't you stay 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 Well I don't think that's the truth G D A And I don't like being used and I'm tired of waiting Em G It's too much pain to have to bare 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 Em I'm so tired of being lonely A Don't I give you what you need F#m Bm When she calls you to go G There's one thing you should know Em A We don't have to live this way D Baby, why don't you stay Em I can't take it any longer G But my will is getting stronger Em 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 Em 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 D Why don't you stay G I'm up off my knees Em I'm so tired of being lonely A You can't give me what I need F#m Bm When she begs you not to go G There's one thing you should know Em A I don't have to live this way D A Em G A D Baby why don't you stay
