Intro
[D]
Verse 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 stop
Pre-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"
Chorus
[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 your 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 there
Pre-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"
Chorus
[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 your 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' back
Chorus
[D]
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 your 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

Outro

But you won't, but you won't, but you won't

But you won't, but you won't, but you won't
