A G

A G

A G
Or at least bring some sleep?
D Em
Your eyes don't catch the little things
D Em
As they narrow on your fault
D Em
I'm checkin' your pulse, 'cuz you're so quiet
D Em
I'm kissin' you, but you don't feel it
G A
Why'd you do this to me?
G A
Showin' me that all I'm good for
D Em
Is to watch you sleep
D Em
As lifeless as an angel
A G
She was the most beautiful cloud
A G
That ever passed before the face of girl
A G
Seems like nothing's too good for this life
A G
Yeah, some things are too good for this world
D Em
And our names and our faces
D Em
Amount to just spare change
D Em
The memory of us all
D Em
Kept droppin' spare change

Why won't you stay?
G A
Why won't you stay?

A G
Why won't you stay?
A G
Why won't you stay?

Why won't you stay?
