G                                    A
  I've known it from the very start
                                 G
We're a shot in the darkest dark
                          G
Oh no, oh no, I'm unarmed
                         G
The waiting is a sadness
                    A
Fading into madness

Oh no, oh no, it won't stop

G                  D             A
I'm standing on a tightrope alone
   A                                 G
I hold my breath a little bit longer
                 D                    A
Halfway out the door, but it won't close
      A
I'm holding out hope for you to

G   D     A
Say: Don't go
A
I would stay forever if you
G   D     A
Say: Don't go

G                           D
  Why'd you have to lead me on?
                             A
Why'd you have to twist the knife?
                        Bm
Walk away and leave me bleeding, bleeding?
G                           D
  Why'd you whisper in the dark
                         A
Just to leave me in the night?
                        Bm
Now your silence has me screaming, screaming

G           D             A
(Say) Say: (Don't) don't (go) go
A
I would stay forevеr if you
G           D             A
(Say) Say: (Don't) don't (go) go
A
(Say, say, say, say)

G                              A
Now I'm pacing on shaky ground
                                     G
Strike a match, then you blow it out
                            A
Oh no, oh no, it's not fair
                                     G
'Cause you kiss mе and it stops time
                                   A
And I'm yours, but you're not mine
                               G
Oh no, oh no, you're not there

G                    D             A
I'm standing on the sidewalk alone
A
  I wait for you to drive by
G                  D                        A
I'm tryna see the cards that you won't show
A
  I'm about to fold unless you

G          D             A
(Say) Say: (Don't) don't (go) go
A
I would stay forevеr if you
G          D             A
(Say) Say: (Don't) don't (go) go

G                           D
  Why'd you have to lead me on?
                             A
Why'd you have to twist the knife?
                        Bm
Walk away and leave me bleeding, bleeding?
G                           D
  Why'd you whisper in the dark
                         A
Just to leave me in the night?
                        Bm
Now your silence has me screaming, screaming

G           D             A
(Say) Say: (Don't) don't (go) go
A
I would stay forevеr if you
G           D             A
(Say) Say: (Don't) don't (go) go
A
(Say, say, say, say)

G
  Why'd you have to (why'd you have to)
D
  Make me want you? (Make me want you?)
G
  Why'd you have to (why'd you have to)
A
  Give me nothing back?
G
  Why'd you have to (why'd you have to)
D
  Make me love you? (Make me love you?)
A
  I said: I love you (I said: I love you)
Bm
You say nothing back

                           D
Why'd you have to lead me on?
                             A
Why'd you have to twist the knife?
                        Bm
Walk away and leave me bleeding, bleeding?
G                           D
  Why'd you whisper in the dark
                         A
Just to leave me in the night?
                        Bm
Now your silence has me screaming, screaming

G           D             A
(Say) Say: (Don't) don't (go) go
A
I would stay forevеr if you
G           D             A
(Say) Say: (Don't) don't (go) go
A
(Say, say, say, say)

        G              D              A
But you won't, but you won't, but you won't
A                            G    D    A
I would stay forever if you say: Don't go
        G              D              A
But you won't, but you won't, but you won't
