C Am7 Em He had a temper and when it went off was as deadly as a gun C D G He made her feel like she had nowhere to run C Am7 Clinging together like honey and leather Em Ridiculous when you look back C Bm 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 Tell me why you stay Sits at the table and goes through emotions Telling herself that she's trapped Faking a smile, it doesn't have to be like that No room to breathe, he's lost in the silence Wondering what he did wrong Thinking that no one cared, feeling like the only one Chorus: Why do we stay? Stay surrounded by people that don't want us In places we're not wanted Tell me why you stay Stay surrounded by people that don't want you In places you're not wanted Tell me why you stay Tell me why you stay 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 Heaven's out there somewhere, but you have to leave now Chorus: Tell me why we stay Stay surrounded by people that don't want us In places we're not wanted Tell me why you stay Stay surrounded by people that don't want you In places you're not wanted Tell me why you stay (Ohh) Tell me why you stay (Ohh) Tell me why you stay (Ohh) | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Chords fingeringsAm7 C D Em G Bm |
