Chords and lyrics for Stay by Sugarland (key of D).
Verse 1
[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 [Em]another 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]
Pre-Chorus
[Em] What do I have to do to [G]make you see
[Em] She can't [G]love you like [A]me
Chorus
Why don't you [D]stay
I'm down on my [G]knees
I'm so tired of [D/F#]being [Em]lonely
Don't I give you what you [A]need
When she [A#dim]calls you to go[Bm]
There's one thing [A]you should [G]know
We don't have to [D/F#]live this [Em]way[G]
A (D)
Baby, why don't you stay
Interlude
[D] [A] [Em] [G] [A]
Verse 2
[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
But 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]
Pre-Chorus
[Em] It's too much pain to [G]have to bear
[Em] To love a [G]man you have to [A]share
Chorus
Why don't you [D]stay
I'm down on my [G]knees
I'm so tired of [D/F#]being [Em]lonely
Don't I give you what you [A]need
When she [A#dim]calls you to go[Bm]
There's one thing [A]you should [G]know
We don't have to [D/F#]live this [Em]way[G]
Baby, [A]why don't you [D]stay
Bridge
I can't [Em]take it any longer
But my [G]will is getting stronger
And I [D]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 [D]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 mine[A]
Chorus
Why don't you [D]stay
I'm up off my [G]knees
I'm so tired of [D/F#]being [Em]lonely
You can't give me what I [A]need
When she [A#dim]begs you not to go[Bm]
There's one thing [A]you should [G]know
I don't have to [D/F#]live this [Em]way[G]

Baby why don't you stay
