🎶 Say Don't Go

[A#] I've known it from the very start
[Bb] We’re a shot in the darkest dark
[Em] Oh no, oh no, I'm unarmed
[A#] The waiting is a sadness
[Bb] Fading into madness
[Em] Oh no, oh no, it won't stop

[Em] I’m standin' on a [A#] tightrope a[Db]lone
I hold my breath a little bit [Em]longer
Halfway out the [A#]door, but it won't [Db]close

I'm holdin' out hope for you to
[Em]Say, [A#]"Don't [Db]go"
I would stay forever if you [Em]say, [A#]"Don't [Db]go"

Chorus
[Em]Why'd you have to lead me [A#]on?
Why’d you have to twist the [Db]knife?
Walk away and leave me [A#]bleedin’, [Db]bleedin'?
[Em]Why’d you whisper in the [A#]dark?
Just to leave me in the [Db]night?
Now your silence has me [A#]screamin', [Db]screamin'

[Em](Say) Say, "[A#](Don't) don’t [Db](Go) go"
I would stay forevеr if you [Em](Say) say, "([A#]Don't) don't [Db](Go) go"
(Say, say, say, say)

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

[Em]I'm standin' on the [A#]sidewalk a[Db]lone

I wait for you to drive by
[Em]I'm tryna see the [A#]cards that you won't [Db]show

I'm about to fold unless you

[Em](Say) Say, "[A#](Don't) don't [Db](Go) go"
I would stay forever if you [Em](Say) say, "[A#](Don't) don't [Db](Go) go"

Chorus
[Em]Why'd you have to lead me [A#]on?
Why’d you have to twist the [Db]knife?
Walk away and leave me [A#]bleedin’, [Db]bleedin'?
[Em]Why’d you whisper in the [A#]dark?
Just to leave me in the [Db]night?
Now your silence has me [A#]screamin', [Db]screamin'

[Em](Say) Say, "[A#](Don't) don’t [Db](Go) go"
I would stay forevеr if you [Em](Say) say, "([A#]Don't) don't [Db](Go) go"
(Say, say, say, say)

[Em]Why'd you have to (Why'd you [A#]have to)
Make me want you? (Make me [Db]want you)

Why'd you have to (Why'd you have to)
Give me nothin' [Em]back?
Why'd you have to (Why'd you [A#]have to)
Make me love you? (Make me [Db]love you)

I said, "I love you", you say nothin' back...

Chorus
[Em]Why'd you have to lead me [A#]on?
Why’d you have to twist the [Db]knife?
Walk away and leave me [A#]bleedin’, [Db]bleedin'?
[Em]Why’d you whisper in the [A#]dark?
Just to leave me in the [Db]night?
Now your silence has me [A#]screamin', [Db]screamin'

[Em](Say) Say, "[A#](Don't) don’t [Db](Go) go"
I would stay forevеr if you [Em](Say) say, "([A#]Don't) don't [Db](Go) go"
(Say, say, say, say)

But you [Em]won't, but you [A#]won't, but you [Db]won't
I would stay forever if you [Em]say, "[A#]Don't [Db]go"
But you [Em]won't, but you [A#]won't, but you [Db]won't⠀
