Intro: E

Verse 1:
E
 I've known it from the very start
Dbm
  We're a shot in the darkest dark
A
 Oh no, oh no, I'm unarmed
E
 The waiting is a sadness
Dbm
  Fading into madness
A
 Oh no, oh no, it won't stop

Pre-chorus:
A                  E          B
 I'm standin' on a tightrope alone
                              A
I hold my breath a little bit longer
                E                  B
Halfway out the door, but it won't close
                               A    E      B
I'm holdin' out hope for you to say, "Don't go"
                           A    E      B
I would stay forever if you say, "Don't go"

Chorus:
A                          E
 Why'd you have to lead me on?
                            B
Why you'd have to twist the knife?

Walk away and leave me bleedin', bleedin'?
A                         E
 Why'd you whisper in the dark
                        B
Just to leave me in the night?

Now your silence has me screamin', screamin'
A           E              B
(Say) Say, "(Don't) Don't (Go) go"
                             A           E             B
I would stay forever if you (Say) say, "(Don't) Don't (Go) go"

(Say, say, say, say)

Verse 2:
E
 Now I'm pacin' on shaky ground
Dbm
  Strikе a match, then you blow it out
A
 Oh no, oh no, it's not fair
E
'Cause you kiss me and it stops timе
Dbm
  And I'm yours, but you're not mine
A
 Oh no, oh no, you're not there

Pre-chorus:
A                    E         B
 I'm standin' on the sidewalk alone

I wait for you to drive by
A                  E                    B
 I'm tryna see the cards that you won't show
                              A           E             B
I'm about to fold unless you (Say) say, "(Don't) Don't (Go) go"
                             A           E             B
I would stay forever if you (Say) say, "(Don't) Don't (Go) go"

Chorus:
A                          E
 Why'd you have to lead me on?
                            B
Why you'd have to twist the knife?

Walk away and leave me bleedin', bleedin'?
A                         E
 Why'd you whisper in the dark
                        B
Just to leave me in the night?

Now your silence has me screamin', screamin'
A           E              B
(Say) Say, "(Don't) Don't (Go) go"
                             A           E             B
I would stay forever if you (Say) say, "(Don't) Don't (Go) go"

(Say, say, say, say)

Bridge:
A                             E
 Why'd you have to (Why'd you have to)
                          B
Make me want you (Make me want you)?

Why'd you have to (Why'd you have to)

Why'd you have to lead me on? (Oh)
                            B
Why you'd have to twist the knife?

Walk away and leave me bleedin', bleedin'?
A                         E
 Why'd you whisper in the dark
                        B
Just to leave me in the night?
