Verse 1:
B         F#           E
It’s been awhile since I’ve really cared 
B         F#      E
About something I never knew was there 
      B      F#       E
And I tried, oh how I tried 
Dbm                                  E
But now I gotta see you go and walk away

Why don’t you stay?

B      F#  E
Lonely day laying on my floor 
B      F#              E
Your favorite shirt is hanging on my door 
        B F#        E
And all I can do is cry 
Dbm                                       E
Thinkin' ‘bout the things I never got to say 
    F#        B    E
Why don’t you stay? 
    B     F#  E
Why don’t you stay?

Verse 3:
G              A
 Now that it’s too late 
G             A
 Bring on the heartbreak 
A                        B    E
The sun don’t ever wanna shine 
E                        B F# E
The sun don’t ever wanna shine

Bridge:
B                          E              B
I never thought it’d be so hard to let go 
B         F#               E
Just like Dylan sang on my radio 
       B F#             E
I wish I could just hit rewind 
Dbm                                  E

G                      A
Damn the chance that I didn’t take 
G                      A
Go on and bring on the heartbreak 
G                        A
It won’t be the same without you 
                             B  E
I wish that I could make you mine 
E                       B F# E
If I could only make you mine
E             B F# E
Why don’t you stay? 
E        B F# E   (Strum DOWN once and ring out)
Why don’t you stay?

:)
