Leave If You Won’t Stay

[Intro] E  A  G#m  B

          E
And I tried
                             G#m
So many times to pull you through
                                     C#m  B9  A9
But how many times did I let go of me for you?
            E
I gave my all
                        G#m
But that’s not love at all
                               C#m  B9  A9
I truly thought love wouldn’t leave a bruise

                E
Yeah, you were right
                                G#m
How many times did I say that tonight?
                                    C#m  B9     A9
Your favorite Pearl Jam song still plays in my car
                E
And I still smile
                        B
When I think of your laugh
             E
But why pretend?
                         G#m
Why act like this won’t end?
                                   C#m         A9     B9
Do you come back just ‘cause it's nice in my bed again?

                E                             A
Please, just leave if you’re not planning to stay
                                    B9
I’m done with love that feels like play
                                A9
No more coffees and pretend dreams
                       B9                               E
If in the end it’s never me you call when life gets mean
                                  A
Your heart feels fine tonight, okay
                                                   B9
But when The Strokes come on, I know you'll drift away
                                            A9
No more random films to keep you from the dark
                                                        E
And you won’t find me when you're needing someone to spark

[Solo] E  A9  B9  D9

        E                 G#m
I’m alone, but I’m not lonely
                                     A
Thoughts collide before I sleep slowly
                                    B
Of course, you’re there in every scene
                        C#m             A9        B
That’s why I lay in silence, no “goodnight” routine

                E                               A
Please, just leave if you’re not planning to stay
                                     B9
I’m done with love that feels like play
                                A9
No more coffees and pretend dreams
                         B9                           E
If in the end it’s never me you call when life gets mean
                                  A
Your heart feels fine tonight, okay
                                                   B9
But when The Strokes come on, I know you'll drift away
                                        A9
No more random films to keep you from the dark
                                                        E
And you won’t find me when you're needing someone to spark

                            A
I know you forgot how to love
                           B9
I know you forgot how to stay
                           A9
I know you forgot how to care
        B               E  A9  B9  D9
I know... you forgot me that way
