Hurts - Stay
[Verse 1]
G Em
My whole life waiting for the right time
D C
To tell you how I feel.
G Em
Know I try to tell you that I need you.
C
Here I am without you.
Em D
I feel so lost but what can I do?
[Pre-Chorus]
C D
'Cause I know this love seems real
C D
But I don't know how to feel.
[Chorus]
G
We say goodbye in the pouring rain
D
And I break down as you walk away.
Em C
Stay, stay.
G
'Cause all my life I felt this way
D
But I could never find the words to say
Em C
Stay, stay.
[Verse 2]
G D
Alright, everything is alright
C D
Since you came along
G
And before you
Em
I had nowhere to run to

Nothing to hold on to
Em D
I came so close to giving it up.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C D
And I wonder if you know
C Em D
How it feels to let you go?
[Chorus]
G
We say goodbye in the pouring rain
D
And I break down as you walk away.
Em C
Stay, stay.
G
'Cause all my life I felt this way
D
But I could never find the words to say
Em C
Stay, stay.
Em D
[Bridge]
G
So you change your mind
D
And say you're mine.
C
Don't leave tonight
D
Stay.
[Chorus]
G
We say goodbye in the pouring rain
D
And I break down as you walk away.
Em C
Stay, stay.

'Cause all my life I felt this way
D
But I could never find the words to say
Em C
Stay, stay.

Stay with me, stay with me,

Stay with me, stay with me
