Intro:EE
Iʼve known it from the very start
C#m
We’re a shot in the darkest dark
A
Oh no, oh no, Iʼm unarmed
E
The waiting is a sadness
C#m
Fading into madness
A
Oh no, oh no, it wonʼt stop
Pre-Chorus:A E B
I’m standinʼ on a tightrope alone
A
I hold my breath a little bit longer
E B
Halfway out the door, but it wonʼt close
A E B
Iʼm holdinʼ out hope for you to say, «Donʼt go»
A E B
I would stay forever if you say, «Donʼt go»
Chorus:A E
Whyʼd you have to lead me on?
B
Why you’d have to twist the knife?
Walk away and leave me bleedin’, bleedinʼ?
A E
Why’d you whisper in the dark
B
Just to leave me in the night?
Now you silence has me screaminʼ, screaminʼ
A E B
(Say) Say, «(Donʼt) Don’t (Go) go»
A
I would stay forever if you (Say) say,
E B
«(Donʼt) Donʼt (Go) go»
(Say, say, say, say)
E
Now Iʼm pacinʼ on shaky ground
C#m
Strikе a match, then you blow it out
A
Oh no, oh no, itʼs not fair
E
ʼCause you kiss me and it stops timе
C#m
And Iʼm yours, but youʼre not mine
A
Oh no, oh no, youʼre not there
Pre-Chorus:A E B
Iʼm standinʼ on the sidewalk alone
I wait for you to drive by
A E B
Iʼm tryna see the cards that you wonʼt show
A
Iʼm about to fold unless you (Say) say,
E B
«(Donʼt) Donʼt (Go) go»
A
I would stay forever if you (Say) say,
E B
«(Donʼt) Donʼt (Go) go»
Chorus:A E
Whyʼd you have to lead me on?
B
Why you’d have to twist the knife?
Walk away and leave me bleedin’, bleedinʼ?
A E
Why’d you whisper in the dark
B
Just to leave me in the night?
Now you silence has me screaminʼ, screaminʼ
A E B
(Say) Say, «(Donʼt) Don’t (Go) go»
A
I would stay forever if you (Say) say,
E B
«(Donʼt) Donʼt (Go) go»
(Say, say, say, say)
Bridge:A E
Whyʼd you have to (Whyʼd you have to)
B
Make me want you (Make me want you)?
Whyʼd you have to (Whyʼd you have to)
A
Give me nothinʼ back?
E
Whyʼd you have to (Whyʼd you have to)
B
Make me love you (Make me love you)?
N.C.
I said, «I love you,» you say nothinʼ back

Whyʼd you have to lead me on? (Oh)
