[Verse]
D                  G                   D 
Say what you want, I've heard it all before 
D                           G                            D 
With your words of leaving, and your bags packed at the door 
D                        G                      D 
I could beg you to stay, but I don't know what for 
A                                      G                   D 
Maybe it's time you took your bags and walked on out the door. 
  
[Chorus]
A                                   G               D 
My heart can't take the games you play, inside my mind 
A                             G                    D 
You've told me about your leaving, one too many times 
A                              G                        D      
And yeah I see you standing there with your tear filled eyes 
A                                 G                       D 
I'll ask you this tonight, if you leave, "Stay gone this time"
  
[Verse]
D                            G                        D 
We sure had some good times, maybe we should let them be 
D                               G                           D 
'Cause now your words of anger, are all pointed straight at me 
D                             G                 D 
There's no sense in fighting, what will be will be 
A                                   G                    D 
Maybe we should close that door and just set each other free 
  
[Chorus] 
A                                   G               D 
My heart can't take the games you play, inside my mind 
A                             G                    D 
You've told me about your leaving, one too many times 
A                              G                        D      
And yeah I see you standing there with your tear filled eyes 
A                                 G                       D 
I'll ask you this tonight, if you leave, "Stay gone this time"     
  
[Verse] 
D                            G                     D 
I'm sure you'll let me know, what you think I'll miss 
D                       G                      D 
All those times before, I've never felt like this 
D                      G                     D 
As you lean in slowly, to give me one last kiss 
A                                  G                 D 
I turn my head and let you know to leave, if this is it 
  
[Chorus]
A                                   G               D 
My heart can't take the games you play, inside my mind 
A                             G                    D 
You've told me about your leaving, one too many times 
A                              G                        D      
And yeah I see you standing there with your tear filled eyes 
A                                 G                       D 
I'll ask you this tonight, if you leave, "Stay gone this time"      

A                                 G                       D 
I'll ask you this tonight, if you leave, "Stay gone this time"
