Verse 1:
C majorC                      E minorEm     G+G
He had a temper and when it went off was as deadly as a gun
C majorC                     E minorEm
He made her feel like she had nowhere to run
C majorC
Clinging together like honey and leather
 E minorEm             G+G
Ridiculous when you look back
C majorC                   E minorEm
Like it was preordained they wore everything black

Why do we stay?
   G+G       D MajorD        C majorC
Stay surrounded by people that don't want us
 E minorEm         G+G
In places we're not wanted

C majorC
Sits at the table and goes through emotions
  E minorEm           G+G
Telling herself that she's trapped
C majorC                    E minorEm
Faking a smile, it doesn't have to be like that
C majorC
No room to breathe, he's lost in the silence
 E minorEm          G+G
Wondering what he did wrong
 C majorC                        E minorEm
Thinking that no one cared, feeling like the only one

Bridge:
C majorC
The truth in your heart is a ticking bomb
E minorEm
The voice inside telling you to run
 C majorC              E minorEm
Keeps screaming to move it along, along
        C majorC               E minorEm
I want you to know that there's always a way out
          C majorC                E minorEm
Heaven's out there somewhere, but you have to leave now

Tell me why you stay

Stay surrounded by people that don't want you
