Verse 1:
A minorAm                  G+G      FF
 You asked me to be yours, well, you're tempting fate
               G+G      A minorAm
How I left a promise but it's one I can't make
               G+G     FF
Lord knows it'd kill me if you walked away
                       FF
But darling, my lies, they hide you from the pain

Chorus 1:
FF             A minorAm   G+G
Stay, let me explain why I act so mean
                A minorAm     FF
Don't look away, baby, it's not all that it seems
                  A minorAm   G+G
I'm so afraid that you'll just get up and leave
         A minorAm          Am7Am7 A minorAm
My heart will break like I'm seventeen


Verse 2:
A minorAm                       G+G      FF
 You're not the first one to leave me and you won't be the last
                 G+G      A minorAm
It just doesn't heave me like it did in the past
             G+G      FF
I will never be seen to act like you act
                    FF
To take someone easy and leave it at that


Chorus 2:
FF             A minorAm   G+G
Stay, let me explain why I act so mean
                A minorAm     FF
Don't look away, baby, it's not all that it seems
                  A minorAm   G+G
I'm so afraid that you'll just get up and leave
         A minorAm        FF
My heart will break like I'm seventeen
  A minorAm        FF
Break like I'm seventeen

Bridge:
A augmentedA             FF           G+G
 I say less than I should, I say more than I mean
                      A augmentedA
I would try if I could, but I'm all I can be
           FF             G+G
If I had more I would  change the cover, you see
                          A augmentedA  G+G FF
I have walls that have stood before you ever loved me
           A augmentedA  G+G FF
Before you ever loved me

I'm so afraid that you'll just get up and leave
         A minorAm   FF
My heart will break
