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