[A]
There's a light on in your house But you're not home today
And each time I've come on [Dm] by You seem so [A] far away
Can [G] you give me [D] some reason [A] to hold on?
[G] Can you give me [D] some reason [A] to stay?
[D] [A]
Got some friends knocking on my [D] door Wondering [A] where I've [D] been
[A]
Tired of my hanging for your [D] heart Come up [A] for air again
[G] Can you give me [D] some reason [A] to hold on?
[G] Can you give me [D] some reason [A] to stay?
[E] Stay [A] now, I'm [D] on my way [A] Will I leave you [E] crying?
[A] It's been 40 [D] days, [A] but this love has [E] died [A] I've searched all [D] around [A] for [G] something
[D] Something [A] to hold on to [G] [D] And a reason [A] to stay
So
[D] [A]
[G] [D]
[A] [D] [A]
[G] [D]
[A]
I'm cashing in your promises [D] Gonna leave [A] without a sound
[D] [A]
Got a broken heart, an aching [D] head Cause I know you [A] can't be found

Can [G] you give me [D] some reason to [A] stay?
[E] Stay [A] now, I'm gone [D] away Will [A] I leave you [E] crying?
It's [A] been 40 [D] days, but [A] this love has [E] died [A] I've searched all [D] around [A] for [G] something
[D] Something [A] to hold on to [G] [D] And a reason [A] to stay
