Stay (I Missed You)
Lisa Loeb
[C*] [Am*] [Dm]// [G6]// [Fmaj7]
[C*] You say [Am*] I only hear what I want to [Dm]// [G6]// [Fmaj7]
[C*] You say [Am*] I talk so all the time [Dm]// so… [G6]// [Fmaj7]
[Dm] And I thought what I [C] felt was simple,
[Dm] And I thought that I [C] don't belong,
[Dm] And now that [C] I am leaving,
[Dm] Now I know that I [C] did something wrong 'cause I [Dm7] missed you
[Fm] Yeah, I [F] missed you [C] [F] [C]
[C*] And you say [Am*] I only hear what I want to
I [Dm] don't listen hard,
I [G6] don't pay attention to the [Fmaj7] distance that you're running
Or to anyone, anywhere,
I [Dm] don't under-[G6]-stand if you really care,
I'm [Fmaj7] only hearing negative, no, no, no, no…
And so I, I [Dm] turned the radio [C] on, I turned the radio [Dm] up
And this woman was [C] singin' my song
The [Dm] lover's in love and the [C] other's run away,
The [Dm] lover is cryin' 'cause the [C] other won't stay
[Dm] Some of us hover when we [C] weep for the other who was
[Dm] Dying since the day they were [C] born
Well, well, [Dm] this is not that
I [C] think that I'm throwing, but I'm [Dm] thrown [C]
And I [Dm] thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure
You try to [F] tell me that I'm clever,
But that won't take me anyhow, [Dm] or anywhere [G6] with [F] you
[Dm] You said that I [C] was naive,
And [Dm] I thought that I [C] was strong
[Dm] I thought, "hey, I can [C] leave, I can leave"
Oh [Dm] but now I know that [C] I was wrong, 'cause I [Dm7] missed you
[Fm] Yeah, I [F] missed you [C] [F] [C]
You said, "I [Dm] caught you 'cause I want you and one day I'll let you go."
You try to [F] give away a keeper or keep me 'cause you know you're just so [Dm] scared to
[G6] lose. [Fmaj7]
[C*] And say, you [Am*] "Stay." [Dm]// [G6]// [Fmaj7]
[C*] You say [Am*] I only hear what I want to…. [Dm]// [G6]// [Fmaj7] [C*]
