[Intro]
G D A Bm
[Verse]
G D
People like you always want back
A
The love they gave away
Bm
And people like me wanna believe you
G
When you say you cha-a-anged
D
The more I think about it now
A
The less I kno-o-ow
Bm
All I know is that you drove us
N.C
Off the road
[Pre-Chorus]
G
(Stay!) Hey
D
All you had to do was, stay
A
Had me in the palm of your hand
Bm A
Then, why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in?
[Chorus]
G
(Stay!) Hey
D
Now you say you want it, back
A
Now that it's just too late
Bm
Well, it could've been easy
A G
All you had to do was (stay!)
D
All you had to do was (stay!)
A
All you had to do was (stay!)
Bm
All you had to do was (stay!)
A
All you had to do was stay
[Verse]
G D
Here you are now, calling me up
A
But I don't know what to say
Bm
I've been picking up the pieces
A G
Of the mess you made
D
People like you always want back
A
The love they pushed aside
Bm* N.C.
But people like me are gone forever
When you say goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
G
(Stay!) hey

All you had to do was, stay

Had me in the palm of your hand

All you had to do was (stay!)

Let me remind you
G D A Bm
This was what you wanted (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
A
You ended it

You were all I wanted (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)

But not like this

Not like this

Not like this
N.C
Oh, all you had to do was
