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.

E                                  G#m
Every singer's always singing about   someone else
A                      F#m
Another bleading heart, another brand new start
E                             G#m
But this time I'm singing all about myself
  A                     Am
I made it be so lonely, even my piano wants to cry
G#m                                             A
These ams weren't there to hold you, when I was home I was miles away
G#m                                          A
Now you got every right to go girl, but I'm standing here,
    B           E
I'm begging you stay
G#m
Just a little longer
              A
You've always been the one who's stronger
        Am
I can't let you go
    B           E
I'm begging you stay
G#m
Stay because I need you
     A
With every breath I breath you
        Am
I can't let you walk away
E                              G#m
There are things I didn't ever   say or do
     A                               F#m
Like I would die without you, didn't mean I didn't want to
E                           G#m
But every song I ever sang, I sang for you
    A                          Am
And every night away from you, knowing you'd be home's what got me through
G#m                             A
Tore up all the pictures of our wasted yesterdays
G#m                    A
Fighting for tomorrow, standing here
    B           E
I'm begging you stay
G#m
Just a little longer
              A
You've always been the one who's stronger
        Am
I can't let you go
    B           E
I'm begging you stay

Stay because I need you

I'm pleading
I'm screaming
