B         F#           E
It?s been awhile since I?ve really cared

About something I never knew was there

And I tried, oh how I tried

Lonely day laying on my floor

Your favorite shirt is hanging on my door

And all I can do is cry 
Dbm                                       E
Thinkin' ?bout the things I never got to say

Why don?t you stay?

Why don?t you stay?

I never thought it?d be so hard to let go

Just like Dylan sang on my radio

Go on and bring on the heartbreak 
G                        A
It won?t be the same without you 
                             B  E
I wish that I could make you mine 
E                       B F# E
If I could only make you mine

Why don?t you stay?
