CAPO 2ND FRET


D5                               A5
I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall
D5                             A5
And I've been laying here praying, praying she won't call
             E5
It's just another call from home
       G5                         D5       A5
You?ll get it and be gone and I'll be crying 
D5                     A5
I'll be begging you baby, beg you not to leave
D5                            A5
But I'll be left here waiting' with my heart on my sleeve
            E5
Oh for the next time we'll be here
       G5                             D5          A5
Seems like a million years, and I think I'm dying
E5                   G5
What do I have to do to make you see
E5         G5            A5
She can't love you like me

CHORUS:
               D5
Why don't you stay
                G5
I'm down on my knees
                        E5
I'm so tired of being lonely
                           A5
Don't I give you what you need
          F#5         B5
When she calls you to go
                              G5
There's one thing you should know
                           E5      A5
We don't have to live this way
                     D5        A5   E5   G5   A5
Baby, why don't you stay

D5                     A5
You keep telling me baby there will come a time
D5                             A5
When you will leave her arms and forever be in mine
       E5
Well I don't think that's the truth
       G5                                       D5         A5
And I don't like being used and I'm tired of waiting


E5                     G5
It's too much pain to have to bare
E5        G5                A5
To love a man you have to share

CHORUS
               D5
Why don't you stay
                G5
I'm down on my knees
                       E5
I'm so tired of being lonely
                            A5
Don't I give you what you need
         F#5          B5
When she calls you to go
                              G5
There's one thing you should know
                           E5      A5
We don't have to live this way
                     D5  
Baby, why don't you stay


          E5
I can't take it any longer
        G5
But my will is getting stronger
       E5                              A5
And I think I know just what I have to do 
         E5
I can't waste another minute
      G5
After all that I've put in it
      E5
I've given you my best
              A5
Why does she get the best of you
    E5
So next time you find
     G5                         A5
You want to leave her bed for mine

               D5
Why don't you stay
                G5
I'm up off my knees
                       E5 
I'm so tired of being lonely
                          A5
You can't give me what I need
          F#5            B5
When she begs you not to go
                               G5
There's one thing you should know
                          E5        A5
I don't have to live this way
                    D5       A5   E5   G5   A5   D5
Baby why don't you stay
