A#                           F
People like you always want back
                     C
The love they gave away
                            Dm
And people like me wanna believe you
          C          A#
When you say you've changed

The more I think about it now
The less I know
All I know is that you drove us
Off the road

Chorus:
   A#                            F
 Stay, Hey, all you had to do was stay
                             C
 Had me in the palm of your hand
                                 Dm
 Then, why'd you have to go and lock
                C
 Me out when I let you in
   A#                               F
 Stay, hey, now you say you want it
                              C
 Back now that it's just too late
                         Dm
 Well it could've been easy
                 C
 All you had to do was stay
A#
 All you had to do was stay
F
 All you had to do was stay
C
 All you had to do was stay
Dm              C
 All you had to do was stay

Here you are now, calling me up
But I don't know what to say
I've been picking up the pieces
Of the mess you made
People like you always want back
The love they pushed aside
But people like me are gone forever
When you say goodbye

Chorus

                    A#        F       C
 Let me remind you this was what you wanted
Dm   C
 You ended it
  A#      F      C
 You were all I wanted
Dm    C        A#
 But not like this
            F
 Not like this
C            Dm C
 Not like this
 Oh, all you had to do was


Stay, Hey, all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand
Then, why'd you have to go and lock
Me out when I let you in
Stay, hey, now you say you want it
Back now that it's just too late
Well it could've been easy
All you had to do was stay
