It seems that nothing ever goes my way  
G                                 F 
Since you broke my heart when you left that day  
G                             F 
There's nowhere to go so just stay with me  
G                                F                D 
Cuz since you've been gone, I've been beggin' you please  

[Refrão]

Since you've been gone  
G                            F 
It seems that every time you swear to God that you're leaving  
G                            F 
I'm down on my knees beggin' you to stay  
G                             F 
There's nowhere to go so just stay with me
