[Verse 1]
E
Ain't it sad when you miss a closing door
Turn around, have to wait for something mAore
Dum dada dada daEdum
Gets me mad that I left it all too late
Swept in the breeze, now I watch it drift aAway
Dum dada dada dadEum
[Pre-Chorus]
So  you can fAind me
The tallest building in the tallest Ecity
And I will build a ladder to the F#mrooftops
Screaming from my lungs, "I'm sorry, BI messed up"
[Chorus]
So darling won't you Estay here?
I promise I can Bchange
And darling if you C#mstay here
It won't be a mAistake
I know every conversEation, it always ends the Bsame
So darling if you C#mstay
I'll find the words I couldn't sAay
Oh, but only if you stEay
[Verse 2]
ETruth be told, I'm a mess when you're away
And I'm afraid you make me pay for my mistAakes
Dum dada dada daEdum
[Pre-Chorus]
See you can fAind me
The tallest building in the tallest Ecity
And I will build a ladder to the F#mrooftops
Screaming from my lungs, "I'm sorry, BI messed up"
[Chorus 2]
So darling won't you Estay here?
I promise I can Bchange
And darling if you C#mstay here
It won't be a mAistake
And we can hide under the dEuvet
And time will have to wBait
And you can wear my favorite C#mt-shirt
And we can waste away the Adays
But only if you stEay
[Bridge]
Cutting ties and moments just fade away (only if you Bstay)
Just miles forever we might fade away (only if you C#mstay here)
Still, hope to live for another day (oh baby please just Astay here)
But I'll stay asking for you to stay (I'm asking you to stEay)
Cutting ties and moments just fade away (I'm asking you to stBay)
Just miles forever we might fade away (Oh and darling won't you C#mstay?)
Still, hope to live for another day (and tell me that you'll Astay)
But I'll stay asking for you to stay
[Outro]
So darling won't you stEay here?
I'm asking you to Bwait
And darling if you C#mstay here
I promise I can chAange

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Ain't it sad when you miss a closing door

Turn around, have to wait for something more

Dum dada dada dadum

Gets me mad that I left it all too late

Swept in the breeze, now I watch it drift away

Dum dada dada dadum

[Pre-Chorus]

So you can find me

The tallest building in the tallest city

F#m

And I will build a ladder to the rooftops

Screaming from my lungs, "I'm sorry, I messed up"

[Chorus]

So darling won't you stay here?

I promise I can change

C#m

And darling if you stay here

It won't be a mistake

E B

I know every conversation, it always ends the same

C#m

So darling if you stay

I'll find the words I couldn't say

Oh, but only if you stay

[Verse 2]

Truth be told, I'm a mess when you're away

And I'm afraid you make me pay for my mistakes

Dum dada dada dadum

[Pre-Chorus]

See you can find me

The tallest building in the tallest city

F#m

And I will build a ladder to the rooftops

Screaming from my lungs, "I'm sorry, I messed up"

[Chorus 2]

So darling won't you stay here?

I promise I can change

C#m

And darling if you stay here

It won't be a mistake

And we can hide under the duvet

And time will have to wait

C#m

And you can wear my favorite t-shirt

And we can waste away the days

But only if you stay

[Bridge]

Cutting ties and moments just fade away (only if you stay)

C#m

Just miles forever we might fade away (only if you stay here)

Still, hope to live for another day (oh baby please just stay here)

But I'll stay asking for you to stay (I'm asking you to stay)

Cutting ties and moments just fade away (I'm asking you to stay)

C#m

Just miles forever we might fade away (Oh and darling won't you stay?)

Still, hope to live for another day (and tell me that you'll stay)

But I'll stay asking for you to stay

[Outro]

So darling won't you stay here?

I'm asking you to wait

C#m

And darling if you stay here

I promise I can change
