(capo 4)

(intro) G

G   D         Em       D                 C
How can I bear to wake up and you're not there
G    D        Em      D                  C
What will I do when I turn and reach for you
   G                  D         Em
I lay my tears on the windowsill
           D              F
I'll only cry 'til I get over you
     E7               Am
But how long will it take me
          Em7
Won't you save me

(chorus)
G  D  Em7 D                      C     G
St--------ay,   just a little bit longer
                       C       D
'Til I'm a little bit stronger to take all this and
G  D  Em7 D         C
St--------ay just a little more time
     G          C    D
'Til I can find a way
       Em7
Please stay

( G           D          Em                D )

 C
Will I ever smile again when losing love takes my best friend
G                D             Em     D
To wonder where, wonder how, I wonder what you're doing
F              E7              Am
One more night just before you break me
        Em7
Hold me safely, and

(chorus)
G  D  Em7 D                       C     G
St--------ay,   just a little bit longer
                      C       D
'Til I'm a little bit stronger to take all this and
G D   Em7 D          C
St--------ay, just a little more time
     G          C    D
'Til I can find a way
       C   G   C  G   C  G   D
Please stay

        G                 D             Em
So I'll be a big girl and close my eyes
             D         C       G
As you walk away don't say goodbye
     Em7
God save me

(no chords)
please won't you

'Til I'm a little bit stronger to take all this and
G D   Em7 D          C
St--------ay, just a little more time
     G         C     D
Til I can find a way
           G   D  G                 Cadd9
Won't you stay,  just a little big longer
