G             D          A             Bm       
 People like you always want back the love they gave away
G             D           A                  Bm
 People like me want to believe you when you say that you've changed
G                       D           A          Bm
 The more I think about it now the less I know
            G            D                A                      
 All I know  is that you drove us off the road 
Bm
  All you had to do 
     G     D                     A
 Was stay, all you had to do was stay
 Bm                          G
 Had me in the palm of your hand
 D                          A                 Bm          
 Why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in
   G        D
 Stay, hey, now you say you want it
  A                 Bm
 Back now that it's just too late
G           D              A 
 Well it could've been easy 
Bm                      G  D  A  Bm
 all you had to do was stay
G             D              A
 Here you are now calling me up
       Bm                   G
 But I don't know what to say
            D                A       Bm          
 I've been picking up pieces of the mess you made
G                        D            A                  Bm
 People like you always want back the love they pushed aside
      G                  D                   A        Bm  
 But people like me are gone forever when you say goodbye
 
 G     D                     A
 Stay, all you had to do was stay
 Bm                          G
 Had me in the palm of your hand
 D                          A                 Bm          
 Why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in
   G    D
 Stay, hey, now you want it
  A              Bm
 Back that it's just too late
G           D              A 
 Well it could've been easy 
Bm                      G
 all you had to do was stay
         D                A
Well it could've been easy
