[Intro]
C
 
 
[Verse 1]
C
 I've known it from the very start
Am
  We’re a shot in the darkest dark
F
 Oh no, oh no, I'm unarmed
C
 The waiting is a sadness
Am
  Fading into madness
F
 Oh no, oh no, it won't stop
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F                  C          G
 I’m standin' on a tightrope alone
                              F
I hold my breath a little bit longer
                C                  G
Halfway out the door, but it won't close

I'm holdin' out, oh, for you
  F    C      G
to say, "Don't go"
                           F    C      G
I would stay forever if you say, "Don't go"
 
 
[Chorus]
F                          C
 Why'd you have to lead me on?
                            G
Why you’d have to twist the knife?
 
Walk away and leave me bleedin’, 

bleedin'?
F                         C
 Why’d you whisper in the dark
                        G
Just to leave me in the night?
 
Now you silence has me screamin', screamin'
F           C              G
(Say) Say, "(Don't) Don’t (Go) go"
                             F           
I would stay forever if you (Say) say, 
  C             G
"(Don't) Don't (Go) go"
 
(Say, say, say, say)
 
 
[Verse 2]
C
 Now I'm pacin' on shaky ground
Am
  Strikе a match, then you blow it out
F
 Oh no, oh no, it's not fair
C
'Cause you kiss me and it stops timе
Am
  And I'm yours, but you're not mine
F
 Oh no, oh no, you're not there
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F                    C         G
 I'm standin' on the sidewalk alone
 
I wait for you to drive by
F                  C       
 I'm tryna see the cards 
               G
that you won't show
                              F           
I'm about to fold unless you (Say) say, 
  C             G
"(Don't) Don't (Go) go"
                             F           
I would stay forever if you (Say) say, 
  C             G
"(Don't) Don't (Go) go"
 
 
[Chorus]
F                          C
 Why'd you have to lead me on?
                            G
Why you’d have to twist the knife?
 
Walk away and leave me bleedin’, 

bleedin'?
F                         C
 Why’d you whisper in the dark
                        G
Just to leave me in the night?
 
Now you silence has me screamin', 

screamin'
F           C              G
(Say) Say, "(Don't) Don’t (Go) go"
                             F           
I would stay forever if you (Say) say, 
  C             G
"(Don't) Don't (Go) go"
 
(Say, say, say, say)
 
 
[Bridge]
F                             C
 Why'd you have to (Why'd you have to)
                          G
Make me want you (Make me want you)?
 
Why'd you have to (Why'd you have to)
                F
Give me nothin' back?
                             C
Why'd you have to (Why'd you have to)

Make me love you (Make me love you)?
                                      N.C.
I said, "I love you," you say nothin' back
 
 
[Chorus]
                          C
Why'd you have to lead me on? (Oh)
                            G
Why you'd have to twist the knife?
 
Walk away and leave me bleedin', 

bleedin'?
F                         C
 Why’d you whisper in the dark
                        G
Just to leave me in the night?
 
Now you silence has me screamin', 

screamin' (Woah)
F           C              G
(Say) Say, "(Don't) Don’t (Go) go"

                           F   C 
I would stay forever if you say,
