Intro:
C
Ooh
 
Na na, yeah
 
Verse 1:
C           Am                   Em
  I saw you dancing in a crowded room
            G
You look so happy when I'm not with you
C              Am                     Em
  But then you saw me, caught you by surprise
             G
a single teardrop falling from your eyes
 
Pre-chorus:
C              Am        Em   G
  I don't know why I run away
C               Am             Em  G
  I'll make you cry when I run away
 
Verse 2:
C                    Am                  Em
  You could've asked me why I broke your heart
             G
You could've told me that you fell apart
C                Am                    Em
  But you walked past me like I wasn't there
              G
And just pretended like you didn't care
 
Pre-chorus:
C             Am        Em   G
  I don't know why I run away
C               Am             Em  G
  I'll make you cry when I run away
 
Chorus:
Dm              Am
  Take me back 'cause I wanna stay
F           G
  Save your tears for another
C           Am                   Em G
  Save your tears for another day
C            Am                   Em G
   Save your tears for another day
 
Verse 3:
   C           Am
So, I made you think that I would always stay
Em                   G
  I said some things that I should never say
C                        Am
  Yeah, I broke your heart like someone did to mine
Em                  G
  And now you won't love me for a second time
 
Pre-chorus:
C              Am    Em       G
  I don't know why I run away
C               Am         Em     G
  I'll make you cry when I run away
 
Chorus:
Dm                  Am
  Girl, take me back 'cause I wanna stay
F           G
  Save your tears for another
Dm      Am
  I realize that I'm much too late
F         G
  And you deserve someone better
C         Am                   Em G
Save your tears for another day (Ooh, yeah)
C         Am                Em G
Save your tears for another day (Yeah)
 
Pre-chorus:
C              Am    Em      G
  I don't know why I run away
C               Am         Em      G
  I'll make you cry when I run away
 
Chorus:
C          Am                   Em       G
Save your tears for another day, ooh girl (Ah)
C                Am                   Em   G
I said save your tears for another day (Ah)
 
Outro:
C         Am                Em  G
Save your tears for another day (Ah)
C          Am                Em   G
Save your tears for another day (Ah)
