This is basically a piano song, but I thought it'd be nice to put it out there! Some of
the chords may not be correct, but it works out fine. Good luck!
The intro is played something like this. It is simplified from how it really is played, though.

EEvery singer's always singing about G#msomeone else
AAnother bleading heart, F#manother brand new start
EBut this time I'm singing all G#mabout myself
I Amade it be so lonely, Ameven my piano wants to cry
G#mThese ams weren't there to hold you, when I was Ahome I was miles away
G#mNow you got every right to go girl, but I'm sAtanding here,
I'm Bbegging you Estay
G#mJust a little longer
You've always Abeen the one who's stronger
I can't Amlet you go
I'm Bbegging you Estay
G#mStay because I need you
With Aevery breath I breath you
I can't Amlet you walk away
EThere are things I didn't ever G#msay or do
Like AI would die without you, didn't F#mmean I didn't want to
EBut every song I ever sang, G#mI sang for you
And Aevery night away from you, Amknowing you'd be home's what got me through
G#mTore up all the pictures of our Awasted yesterdays
G#mFighting for tomorrow, Astanding here
I'm Bbegging you Estay
G#mJust a little longer
You've always Abeen the one who's stronger
I can't Amlet you go
I'm Bbegging you Estay
G#mStay because I need you
With Aevery breath I breath you
I can't Amlet you walk away
Second intro part + solo
Solo: E-G#m-A-Am  
GStay, I Bmknow I've done you wrong
It'd be Aeasy to move on
I'm Gtelling you
I'm begging you
I'm F#pleading
I'm screaming
EStay G#mjust a little longer
You've always Abeen the one who's stronger
I can't Amlet you go
I'm Bbegging you Estay
G#mStay because I need you
With Aevery breath I breath you
I can't Amlet you walk away
