D             F#m
Why can't you stay?
   D             F#m
I need you to stay
    G                 A
'Cause you're leaving too soon
   G               A
Now what''s a boy to do?


[Verse 2]
   D             F#m
And where will you go?
   D             F#m
I need to know
  G               A
If you're really gone
  G               A
And how do I move on?


[Bridge]
  D             Bm              F#m
With all of these rhymes I've learned
   D             Bm              F#m
Still couldn't find the right words
  G       A     D
Until you were gone


[Verse 3]
   D             F#m
And where are you now?
   D             F#m
Can I see you somehow?
  G               A
Will you tell me what I do
  G               A
When I really need you?


[Verse 4]
   D             F#m
And are the streets paved with gold
   D             F#m
Like those stories you told?
  G               A
Now everything is changed
  G               A
There's nothing left to say


[Bridge - Reprise]
   D             Bm              F#m
With all of the rhymes I've learned
   D             Bm              F#m
I still couldn't find the right words
  G               A
Until you were
  D             Bm              F#m
With all of the rhymes I've learned
   D             Bm              F#m
I still couldn't find the right words
  G       A
Until you were
  G       A
Cause you were always
  G     A       D
Until you were gone
