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:

                       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
