Lyrics

I Won?t Stay Here And Cry

P (Em) Q
1. I heard the bells ring in Texas
P Q
I heard the birds singing their song
P Q R P
I had just finished breakfast, when I noticed you had gone
P Q
I saw your lights on the high bridge
P Q
As you quickly drove away
P Q R P
Then you were over the low ridge, finding somewhere else to play

Am Em
Cho Will you come back and see me
Am Em
Or leave me wondering why
Am Em
I don?t know what will be
Q R P
I won?t stay here and cry

(Verse instrumental, Cho)

2. So we have had our friendship
And we have had our fun
You were my apprentice, and I thought you were the one
But lately things have been different
You have been out late at night
I have been considerate, and now you have taken flight
Cho ?? (tag) I won?t stay here and cry (2 x)
