Intro: E
 
Verse 1:
E
Ain't it sad when you miss a closing door
                                         A
Turn around, have to wait for something more
                E
Dum dada dada dadum
 
Gets me mad that I left it all too late
                                           A
Swept in the breeze, now I watch it drift away
                 E
Dum dada dada dadum
 
Pre-chorus:
             A
So  you can find me
                                   E
The tallest building in the tallest city
                                 Gbm
And I will build a ladder to the rooftops
                                     B
Screaming from my lungs, "I'm sorry, I messed up"
 
Chorus:
                     E
So darling won't you stay here?
               B
I promise I can change
                   Dbm
And darling if you stay here
               A
It won't be a mistake
                    E                        B
I know every conversation, it always ends the same
                  Dbm
So darling if you stay
                                A
I'll find the words I couldn't say
                      E
Oh, but only if you stay
 
Verse 2:
E
Truth be told, I'm a mess when you're away
                                          A
And I'm afraid you make me pay for my mistakes
                E
Dum dada dada dadum
 
Pre-chorus:
             A
See you can find me
                                   E
The tallest building in the tallest city
                                 Gbm
And I will build a ladder to the rooftops
                                     B
Screaming from my lungs, "I'm sorry, I messed up"
 
Chorus 2:
                     E
So darling won't you stay here?
               B
I promise I can change
                   Dbm
And darling if you stay here
               A
It won't be a mistake
                           E
And we can hide under the duvet
                       B
And time will have to wait
                            Dbm
And you can wear my favorite t-shirt
                         A
And we can waste away the days
                  E
But only if you stay
 
Bridge:
                                                    B
Cutting ties and moments just fade away (only if you stay)
                                                  Dbm
Just miles forever we might fade away (only if you stay here)
                                                        A
Still, hope to live for another day (oh baby please just stay here)
                                                          E
But I'll stay asking for you to stay (I'm asking you to stay)
                                                             B
Cutting ties and moments just fade away (I'm asking you to stay)
                                                               Dbm
Just miles forever we might fade away (Oh and darling won't you stay?)
                                                            A
Still, hope to live for another day (and tell me that you'll stay)
 
But I'll stay asking for you to stay

I promise I can change
