All You Had To Do Was Stay Chords

Capo 3 Key Bb

[Intro]
 
G D A Bm
 
 
[Verse]
 
G                            D
 People like you always want back 
                    A
The love they gave away
                           Bm
And people like me wanna believe you 
                       G
When you say you cha-a-anged
                          D
The more I think about it now 
                 A
The less I kno-o-ow
                       Bm
All I know is that you drove us 
    N.C
Off the road
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
G
(Stay!) Hey
                     D
All you had to do was, stay
                           A
Had me in the palm of your hand
                           
Then, why'd you have to go 
    Bm                 A
and lock me out when I let you in?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G
(Stay!) Hey
                       D
Now you say you want it, back
                       A
Now that it's just too late
                           Bm
Well, it could've been easy
               A           G
All you had to do was (stay!)
                           D
All you had to do was (stay!)
                           A
All you had to do was (stay!)
                           Bm
All you had to do was (stay!)
               A
All you had to do was stay 
 
 
[Verse]
 
G                             D
 Here you are now, calling me up 
                         A
But I don't know what to say
                         Bm
I've been picking up the pieces 
       A            G
Of the mess you made
                            D
People like you always want back 
                      A
The love they pushed aside
                            Bm
But people like me are gone forever
 
When you say goodbye
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
G
(Stay!) hey
                     D
All you had to do was, stay
                           A
Had me in the palm of your hand
                           
Then, why'd you have to go 
    Bm                 A
and lock me out when I let you in?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G
(Stay!) Hey
                       D
Now you say you want it, back
                       A
Now that it's just too late
                           Bm
Well, it could've been easy
               A           G
All you had to do was (stay!)
                           D
All you had to do was (stay!)
                           A
All you had to do was (stay!)
                      Bm
All you had to do was 

(stay! stay! stay! stay! stay!) 
 
 
[Bridge]
Bm
 Let me remind you 
G        D        A           Bm
This was what you wanted (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh) 
    A
You ended it
G         D     A          Bm
You were all I wanted (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)  
     A            G*
But not like this
         D*    A*
Not like this
             Bm*
Not like this
    N.C
Oh, all you had to do was
