Em                           C
You've been picking up this empty house washing your hands clean
         G                        D 
Of everything that has to do with me
  Em                                   C
Except for the pillow and the sheets laying in the floor next to the bed
G                   D
That never got any sleep
         Em                                C                  D
You can still feel last night inside your heart was breaking open wide

[Chorus]
         C
I can't stay with you as long as you want me
 G
Stay with you even though I should
      Em
You listen to me when I tell you
   D 
I said some things you misunderstood
     C
You know that I don't want to hurt you
      G                 D
I'm trying to make you see
           C             D              G
I'll only stay with you long enough to leave

[Verse]
            Em                                C 
I've been making a mess of what you gave me watching the exit signs
            G                               D
As they fly by they're keeping me from the truth
           Em                            C
Because I left an empty suitcase full promises I could never keep
G                      D
That's more than I can do
           Em                                C               D
And I can still hear the sound of your voice We both know I don't have a choice

[Chorus]
         C 
I can't stay with you as long as you want me
 G
Stay with you even though I should
 Em
Listen to me when I tell you
   D
I said some things you misunderstood
     C
You know that I don't want to hurt you
     G                  D
I'm trying to make you see
           C             D               G
I'll only stay with you long enough to leave

[Bridge]
     Em             D
You have to let me go for now
Em                                    C     D
But hold on tight girl and I'll come back around

[Chorus]
          C
And I'll stay with you as long as you want me
 G
Stay with you cause you know I should
     Em
You listen to me when I tell you
   D
I said some things you misunderstood
     C
You know that I don't want to hurt you
     G                  D
I'm trying to make you see
           C             D               G
I'll only stay with you long enough to leave
                 C             D               G
Yeah, I'll only stay with you long enough to leave
