[Verse 1]
C Am7 Em Em
He had a temper and when it went off was as deadly as a gun
C D G G
He made her feel like she had nowhere to run
C Am7
Clinging together like honey and leather
Em Em
Ridiculous when you look back
C D G G
Like it was preordained they wore everything black
[Chorus]
C Am7
Why do we stay?
Em G C
Stay surrounded by people that don't want us
Am7 Em G
In places we're not wanted
C Am7
Tell me why you stay
Em G C
Stay surrounded by people that don't want you
Am7 Em G
In places you're not wanted
C Am7 Em Em
Tell me why you stay
[Verse 2]
C Am7
Sits at the table and goes through emotions
Em Em
Telling herself that she's trapped
C D G G
Faking a smile, it doesn't have to be like that
C Am7
No room to breathe, he's lost in the silence
Em Em
Wondering what he did wrong
C D G G
Thinking that no one cared, feeling like the only one
[Chorus]
C Am7
Why do we stay?
Em G C
Stay surrounded by people that don't want us
Am7 Em G
In places we're not wanted
C Am7
Tell me why you stay
Em G C
Stay surrounded by people that don't want you
Am7 Em G
In places you're not wanted
C Am7 Em G
Tell me why you stay
C Am7 Em G
Tell me why you stay
[Bridge]
C Am7
The truth in your heart is a ticking bomb
Em G
The voice inside telling you to run
C Am7 Em G
Keeps screaming to move it along, along
C Am7 Em
I want you to know that there's always a way out
G C Am7 Em Em
Heaven's out there somewhere, but you have to leave now
[Chorus]
C Am7
Tell me why we stay
Em G C
Stay surrounded by people that don't want us
Am7 Em G
In places we're not wanted
C Am7
Tell me why you stay
Em G C
Stay surrounded by people that don't want you
Am7 Em G
In places you're not wanted
C Am7 Em G
Tell me why you stay (Ohh)
C Am7 Em G
Tell me why you stay (Ohh)
C Am7 Em G
Tell me why you stay (Ohh)
