• Capo on 3rd
• Difficulty: Beginner

Performance @ Zurich Night 1 2024

Key: A

Intro:

E  F#m  D  A  E

Verse:
E
Friends break up, friends get married
F#m
Strangers get born, strangers get buried
D
Trends change, rumors fly through new skies
     A                     E
But I'm right where you left me
E

Matches burn after the other
F#m
Pages turn and stick to each other
D
Wages earned and lessons learned
        A                    E
But I, I'm right where you left me

Pre-Chorus:
E                               F#m
Help, I'm still at the restaurant
                               D
Still sitting in a corner I haunt

Cross-legged in the dim light
A                              E
They say, "What a sad sight," I
E                                   F#m
I swear you could hear a hair pin drop
                               D
Right when I felt the moment stop

Glass shattered on the white cloth
A                    E   Bm
Everybody moved on, I, I stayed there
                     A
Dust collected on my pinned-up hair
E                     Bm
They expected me to find somewhere
                         A               E
Some perspective, but I sat and stared right where

Chorus:
E                   F#m                    D
You left me, you left me no, oh, you left me no
      A                         E
You left me no choice but to stay here forever

Interlude:
Bm  A  E

Verse 1:
D                              A
People like you always want back
                      E
The love they gave away
                             F#m
And people like me wanna believe you
                         D
When you say you've changed
                           A
The more I think about it now
              E
The less I know
                         F#m
All I know is that you drove us
E
Off the road

Chorus:
D                                 A
(Stay) Hey, all you had to do was stay
                            E
Had me in the palm of your hand, then
                           F#m
Why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in?
D                                   A
(Stay) Hey, now you say you want it back
                        E                           F#m
Now that it's just too late, well, could've been easy

All you had to do was (Stay)

Post-Chorus:
 D                            A
All you had to do was (Stay)
                            E
All you had to do was (Stay)
                   F#m
All you had to do was

All You Had to Do Was Stay Bridge:
E
Let me remind you
D         A           E
This was what you wanted (Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
F#m
You ended it
D         A         E
You were all I wanted (Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
E
But not like this

Interlude:
A

Right Where You Left Me Bridge:
E *                                       F#m *
Did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen?
                                           D *
Time went on for everybody else, she won't know it
                                    A *
She's still twenty-three inside her fantasy
            E *           E
How it was supposed to be
                                            F#m
Did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion?
                                              D
Breakups happen every day, you don't have to lose it
                                      A
She's still twenty-three inside her fantasy
                        E
And you're sitting in front of me

Pre-Chorus:
              F#m
At the restaurant
                              D
When I was still the one you want

Cross-legged in the dim light
 A                          E
Everything was just right, I
                          F#m
I could feel the mascara run
                              D
You told me that you met someone

Glass shattered on the white cloth
A                  E
Everybody moved on
E                               F#m
Help, I'm still at the restaurant
                               D
Still sitting in a corner I haunt

Cross-legged in the dim light
A                               E  Bm
They say, "What a sad sight," I, I stayed there
                      A
Dust collected on my pinned-up hair
E                         Bm
I'm sure that you got a wife out there
                              A                  E
Kids and Christmas, but I'm unaware 'cause I'm right where
   Bm
I cause no harm, mind my business
        A                    E                            Bm
If our love died young, I can't bear witness, and it's been so long
                       A                  E
If you ever think you got it wrong, I'm right where

Chorus:
                  F#m                    D
You left me, you left me no, oh, you left me no
      A                         E
You left me no choice but to stay here forever
F#m
So all you had to do was stay?
D
and all you had to do was stay
A
all you had to do was stay
E                          A *
all you had to do was stay
