[A] [B] [A] [E]
Where [A] [E] have all my friends gone?
They've all disappeared
Turn [A] [E] around maybe one [A] day
You're all [E] that was there
[A] Unbelieving, stood by on my own
Always thought [E] I was someone
Turned out I was wrong
[C#m] You [F#] brought me through
[C#m] You [F#] made me feel [E] so [G#] blue
Why [A] don't you [B] stay behind [E] so blue?
[G#]
Why [A] don't you stop [F#] and look at what's going [F#m] down?
[G#m]
[F#m] [E]
If [A] I'm [E] an old woman, she'd [C#m] never sell [E] me a lie
It's hard to sing with someone who won't [A] sing [E] with you
Give all of [A] my mercy, give all of my heart
Never thought [E] that I'd miss you, that I'd miss you so much
[F#m] [C#m] You brought [F#] me through
[C#m] You made [F#] me feel [E] so blue
[G#]
Why [A] don't you stay [B]
behind [E] so blue?
[G#]
Why [A] don't you stop [F#] and look at what's going [A] down?
[G#m]
[F#m] [E]
[A] All my life I've been waiting for someone I could hold the door
Now that I'm blue, now that I'm blue, now that [B] I'm [E]
so blue
[G#]
Why [A] don't you [B] stay behind [E] so blue?
[G#]
Why [A] don't you, why [B] don't you stay behind [E] so blue?
[G#m]
Why [A] don't you, why [B] don't you stay [E] behind so blue?
[G#]
Why [A] don't you stop [F#] and look at what's going [F#m] down?
