Verse 1:
                 D
If I see my old friends, we'll go out dancing
                 Gbm
If we go out dancing, then we'll go to the bar
                 E
If we go to the bar, then there's gonna be drinking
         E                          Dbm
If I drink, I wanna see where you are
                   D
So I don't see my old friends, I don't go dancing
            Gbm
I don't do most things I used to do
            E
Actually, now that I'm thinking about it
                              Dbm
I did most things to get to you

Chorus:
 D                     Gbm                E
No one ever told me leaving was the easy part
E
I gotta stay away
D                      Gbm                   E
Leaving you was easy, now I gotta do what's hard
E
I gotta stay away

Post-chorus:
 D          Gbm
Stay away, stay stay away
 E
Stay away, stay stay away

Verse 2:
             D
If I go driving then I'll put on music
              Gbm
If I put on music then I'll play our song
                 E
If I play our song then I think I'll lose it
           E                            Dbm
End up balled up at the front of your lawn
                 D
So I don't go driving, no, I just stay in
            Gbm
I don't do most things I used to do
              E
Cause every moment is a fork in the road
            E                   Dbm
And all my roads lead back to you (You, you)

Chorus:
 D                     Gbm                E
No one ever told me leaving was the easy part
E
I gotta stay away
D                      Gbm                   E
Leaving you was easy, now I gotta do what's hard
E
I gotta stay away

Post-chorus:
 D          Gbm
Stay away, stay stay away
 E
Stay away, stay stay away

Bridge:
                    D
If I turn off the light then I might start thinking
                 Gbm
If I start thinking, I'll think of the time when
                     E
You said that you loved me, you said I was perfect
                    E
You said you were sorry, you said you were selfish
             D
If I don't stop it, before I know it
        Gbm
All the bad things never happened
           E
You never lied or treated me bad and
        E
If you did then you'll wish you hadn't
      D
Start believing you were right and
      Gbm
I was being too dramatic
      E
So I gotta leave the light on
    E
For tonight
 (nc)
Just so I can stay away

Chorus:
 D                     Gbm                E
No one ever told me leaving was the easy part
E
I gotta stay away
D                      Gbm                   E
Leaving you was easy, now I gotta do what's hard
E
I gotta stay away
D
Any little misstep
Gbm
I'll be at your doorstep
E
Talking 'bout forgiveness
E
Giving you my heart back
D
Just so you can break it
Gbm                    E
One more time before I say
         E
I gotta stay away

Post-chorus:
 D          Gbm
Stay away, stay stay away
 E
Stay away, stay stay away
 D          Gbm
Stay away, stay stay away
 E
Stay away, stay stay away
