[Verse 1]
D                         Dsus4
   I've been awake for a while
    Dsus4                  Bm
Just thinkin bout you leaving
                Bm
I've had to swallow my pride
                A
I know you've got good reason
D                         Dsus4
Tryin to trust that in time
              Dsus4
Its gunna be alright
Bm                    Bm
Its gettin hard to hold on

[Pre-Chorus]

N.C.
Im breathin in the
D                       Dsus4
Oxygen and barely surviving
Dsus4                 Bm
Wishin there was something more that i can do
      Bm               A
Then sittin here and missin you
D                       Dsus4
Admittin truth that ive been denying
Dsus4                 Bm
Cause you were the one thing i was afraid to loose

[Chorus]

D                 Em
Baby wont you stay
Bm                        A
Only for a minute
D                 Em
So i can numb the pain
         Bm                        A
Not the life without you in it
N.C.
I promise that I
G
Not stoppin you on your way out

Just need a second to slow down
Bm           A

[Verse 2]

D                         Dsus4
Trapped in this moment of time
    Dsus4                  Bm
With every though im reeling
              Bm
But all the tears in these eyes
                 A
Will bring some clarity and
D                         Dsus4
Soon the pain will subside
    Dsus4                  Bm
Findin that deeper meaning
           Bm
Until that moment arrives

[Pre-chorus]

N.C.
Im breathin in the
D                       Dsus4
Oxygen and barely surviving
Dsus4                 Bm
Wishin there was something more that i can do
      Bm               A
Then push away the thought of you
D                       Dsus4
Admittin truth that ive been denying
Dsus4                           A
Healing whats been broken and bruised

[Chorus]
D                 Em
Baby wont you stay

          Bm              D

Em                     D
