Em C You've been picking up this empty house washing your hands clean G D Of everything that has to do with me Em C Except for the pillow and the sheets laying in the floor next to the bed G D That never got any sleep Em C D You can still feel last night inside your heart was breaking open wide C I can't stay with you as long as you want me G Stay with you even though I should Em You listen to me when I tell you D I said some things you misunderstood C You know that I don't want to hurt you G D I'm trying to make you see C D G I'll only stay with you long enough to leave Em C I've been making a mess of what you gave me watching the exit signs G D As they fly by they're keeping me from the truth Em C Because I left an empty suitcase full promises I could never keep G D That's more than I can do Em C D And I can still hear the sound of your voice We both know I don't have a choice C I can't stay with you as long as you want me G Stay with you even though I should Em Listen to me when I tell you D I said some things you misunderstood C You know that I don't want to hurt you G D I'm trying to make you see C D G I'll only stay with you long enough to leave Bridge Em D You have to let me go for now Em C D But hold on tight girl and I'll come back around C And I'll stay with you as long as you want me G Stay with you cause you know I should Em You listen to me when I tell you D I said some things you misunderstood C You know that I don't want to hurt you G D I'm trying to make you see C D G I'll only stay with you long enough to leave C D G Yeah, I'll only stay with you long enough to leave
