(Stay, stay)

[Verse 1]
G                           A
Give me love, that's what I want
Scream it out loud
F#m                            Bm   A
Don't let the silence take it away
G                                A
You're the best thing that I've got
I'm sure as hell of that
F#m                             G
And no one else can take your place

[Pre-Chorus]
                  G
Why do we have to be this way?
                  A
Why do we have to play these games?
                  F#m
Why can't we just be the same
            G
Like we used to?

[Chorus]
G
Why can't we just stay
                   A
Stay for another day here?
                F#m
I wish you were mine
                          Bm   A
But I know my love is wastеd

[Post-Chorus]
             G
Why don't we stay?
      A
(Stay, stay)
F#m   Bm   A
(Stay, stay)

[Verse 2]
G                                     A
Let's leavе this town, we'll head for higher
                F#m
Souls on fire
                                         G
I'm hoping that we'll make it one more day

[Pre-Chorus]
                  G
Why do we have to be this way?
                  A
Why do we have to play these games?
                  F#m
Why can't we just be the same
            Bm    A
Like we used to?
                  G
Why do we have to be this way?
                  A
Why do we have to play these games?
                  F#m
Why can't we just be the same
            G
Like we used to?

[Chorus]
                  G
Why can't we just stay
                   A
Stay for another day here?
                F#m
I wish you were mine
                          Bm   A
But I know my love is wastеd
                  G
Why can't we just say
            D        A
Say what we gotta say here?
      G              Bm
We're running out of time
                  A       G               A D
And it's hard for me to face it, face it

[Bridge]

A D             A  Bm       A Bm
    Watching as we faded
A D             A  Bm         A
    Watching as we faded

[Chorus]
                  G*
Why can't we just stay
          D        A
Stay for another day here?
                F#m
I wish you were mine
                          Bm   A
But I know my love is wastеd
                  G
Why can't we just say (Can't we just say)
            D        A
Say what we gotta say here? (Say what we gotta say?)
      G              Bm
We're running out of time
                  A       G               A D
And it's hard for me to face it, face it
