G
i've known it from the very start..
Em
we're a shot in the darkest dark..
C
oh no, oh no i'm unarmed..
G
the waiting is a sadness..
Em
fading into madness..
C
oh no, oh no it won't stop..
C G D
i'm standing on a tightrope, alone
C
i hold my breath a little bit longer
G D
halfway out the door, but it won't close
i'm holding out hope for you to
C G D
say.. don't.. go..
i would stay forever if you
C G D
say.. don't.. go..
Chorus
C G
why'd you have to lead me on?
D
why'd you have to twist the knife?
walk away and leave me bleeding..
bleeding..
C G
why'd you whisper in the dark
D
just to leave me in the night?
now your silence has me screaming..
screaming..
C G D
(say) say.. (don't) don't.. (go) go..
i would stay forever if you
C G D
(say) say.. (don't) don't.. (go) go..
(say, say, say, say)
G
now i'm pacing on shaky ground..
Em
strike a match, then you blow it out..
C
oh no, oh no it's not fair..
G
cause you kiss me and it stops time..
Em
and i'm yours, but you're not mine..
C
oh no, oh no you're not there..
C G D
i'm standing on the sidewalk, alone
i wait for you to drive by
C G
i was trying to see the cards
D
that you won't show..
i'm about to fold unless you
C G D
(say) say.. (don't) don't.. (go) go..
i would stay forever if you say
C G D
(say) say.. (don't) don't.. (go) go.. oah..
Chorus

D
just to leave me in the night?
now your silence has me screaming..
