E B I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall E B And I've been laying here praying, praying she won't call Gbm It's just another call from home A E B You’ll get it and be gone and I'll be crying E B I'll be begging you baby, beg you not to leave E B But I'll be left here waiting' with my heart on my sleeve Gbm Oh for the next time we'll be here A E B Seems like a million years, and I think I'm dying Gbm A What do I have to do to make you see Gbm A B She can't love you like me Chorus: E Why don't you stay A I'm down on my knees Gbm I'm so tired of being lonely B Don't I give you what you need Abm Dbm When she calls you to go A There's one thing you should know Gbm B We don't have to live this way E B Gbm A B Baby, why don't you stay E B You keep telling me baby there will come a time E B When you will leave her arms and forever be in mine Gbm Well I don't think that's the truth A E B And I don't like being used and I'm tired of waiting Gbm A It's too much pain to have to bare Gbm A B To love a man you have to share Chorus: E Why don't you stay A I'm down on my knees Gbm I'm so tired of being lonely B Don't I give you what you need Abm Dbm When she calls you to go A There's one thing you should know Gbm B We don't have to live this way E Baby, why don't you stay Gbm I can't take it any longer A But my will is getting stronger Gbm B And I think I know just what I have to do Gbm I can't waste another minute A After all that I've put in it Gbm I've given you my best B Why does she get the best of you Gbm So next time you find A B You want to leave her bed for mine E Why don't you stay A I'm up off my knees Gbm I'm so tired of being lonely B You can't give me what I need Abm Dbm When she begs you not to go A There's one thing you should know Gbm B I don't have to live this way E B Gbm A B E Baby why don't you stay
