Say Don't Go

[Intro] D

[First Part]

D
 I've known it from the very start
Bm
  We’re a shot in the darkest dark
G
 Oh no, oh no, I'm unarmed
D
 The waiting is a sadness
Bm
  Fading into madness
G
 Oh no, oh no, it won't stop

[Pre-Chorus]

G                  D          A
 I’m standin' on a tightrope alone
                              G
I hold my breath a little bit longer
                D                  
Halfway out the door, but it won't 
A
close
                               G   
I'm holdin' out hope for you to 
 D      A
say, "Don't go"
                           G    
I would stay forever if you say, 
D      A
"Don't go"

[Chorus]

G                          D
 Why'd you have to lead me on?
                            A
Why you’d have to twist the knife?

Walk away and leave me bleedin’, 
bleedin'?
G                         D
 Why’d you whisper in the dark
                        A
Just to leave me in the night?

Now you silence has me screamin', 
screamin'
G           D              A
(Say) Say, "(Don't) don’t (Go) go"
                             G   
I would stay forever if you (Say) 
        D             A
say, "(Don't) don't (Go) go"

Continues after the ad
(Say, say, say, say)

[Second Part]

D
 Now I'm pacin' on shaky ground
Bm
  Strikе a match, then you blow it 
out
G
 Oh no, oh no, it's not fair
D
'Cause you kiss me and it stops timе
Bm
  And I'm yours, but you're not mine
G
 Oh no, oh no, you're not there

[Pre-Chorus]

G                    D         A
 I'm standin' on the sidewalk alone

I wait for you to drive by
G                  D             
 I'm tryna see the cards that you
       A
 won't show
                              G    
I'm about to fold unless you (Say) 
       D             A
say, "(Don't) don't (Go) go"
                             G   
I would stay forever if you (Say) 
        D             A
say, "(Don't) don't (Go) go"

[Chorus]

G                          D
 Why'd you have to lead me on?
                            A
Why you’d have to twist the knife?

Walk away and leave me bleedin’, 
bleedin'?
G                         D
 Why’d you whisper in the dark
                        A
Just to leave me in the night?

Now you silence has me screamin', 
screamin'
G           D              A
(Say) Say, "(Don't) don’t (Go) go"

I would stay forever if you (Say) 
        D             A
say, "(Don't) don't (Go) go"

(Say, say, say, say)

G                             D
 Why'd you have to (Why'd you have 
to)
                          A
Make me want you (Make me want you)?

Why'd you have to lead me on? (Oh)
                            A
Why you'd have to twist the knife?

Walk away and leave me bleedin', 
bleedin'?
G                         D
