Intro: DVerse 1:
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 stopPre-Chorus
G D A I'm standin' on a tightrope alone G I hold my breath a little bit longer D A Halfway out the door, but it won't close G D A I'm holdin' out hope for you to say, "Don't go" G D A I would stay forever if you say, "Don't go"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 D A I would stay forever if you (Say) say, "(Don't) don't (Go) go" (Say, say, say, say)Verse 2:
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 therePre-Chorus
G D A I'm standin' on the sidewalk alone I wait for you to drive by G D A I'm tryna see the cards that you won't show G D A I'm about to fold unless you (Say) say, "(Don't) don't (Go) go" G D A I would stay forever if you (Say) say, "(Don't) don't (Go) go"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 D A I would stay forever if you (Say) say, "(Don't) don't (Go) go" (Say, say, say, say)Bridge:
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 (Why'd you have to) G Give me nothin' back? D Why'd you have to (Why'd you have to) A Make me love you (Make me love you)? N.c I said, "I love you," you say nothin' backFinal: G D A But you won't, but you won't, but you won't 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'tD 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 Why'd you whisper in the dark A Just to leave me in the night? Now you silence has me screamin', screamin' (Woah) G D A (Say) Say, "(Don't) don't (Go) go" G D A I would stay forever if you (Say) say, "(Don't) don't (Go) go" woah (Say, say, say, say)
