Sugarland - Stay

From "Enjoy The Ride" (2006)
(Jennifer Nettles)

Capo: 2nd Fret

[D]I've been sitting here staring at the [A]clock on the wall
[D]And I've been laying here praying, [A]praying she won't call
It's just a[Em]nother call from home
You'll [G]get it and be gone and I'll be [D]crying  [A]
[D]I'll be begging you baby, [A]beg you not to leave
[D]But I'll be left here waiting' with [A]my heart on my sleeve
Oh for the [Em]next time we'll be here
Seems [G]like a million years, and I think I'm [D]dying  [A]
[Em]What do I have to do to [G]make you see?
[Em]She can't [G]love you like [A]me

CHORUS #1:
Why don't you [D]stay?
I'm down on my [G]knees
I'm so tired of being [Em]lonely
Don't I give you what you [A]need?
When she [F#m]calls you to [Bm]go
There's one thing you should [G]know
We don't have to live this [Em]way  [A]
Baby, why don't you [D]stay?

INSTRUMENTAL:  [A]  [Em]  [G]  [A]

[D]You keep telling me baby [A]there will come a time
[D]When you will leave her arms and [A]forever be in mine
Well I [Em]don't think that's the truth
And I [G]don't like being used and I'm tired of [D]waiting  [A]
[Em]It's too much pain to [G]have to bare
[Em]To love a [G]man you have to [A]share

CHORUS #1

BRIDGE:
I can't [Em]take it any longer
But my [G]will is getting stronger
And I [Em]think I know just what I have to [A]do
I can't [Em]waste another minute
After [G]all that I've put in it
I've [Em]given you my best
Why does she [A]get the best of you?
So [Em]next time you find
You [G]want to leave her bed for [A]mine

CHORUS #2:

Why don't you [D]stay?
I'm up off my [G]knees
I'm so tired of being [Em]lonely
You can't give me what I [A]need
When she [F#m]begs you not to [Bm]go
There's one thing you should [G]know
I don't have to live this [Em]way  [A]
Baby why don't you [D]stay

INSTRUMENTAL  (End on [D])
