(D)Dy ing in side ’cause I can’t stand it, (Bm7)make up, break up, can’t take this mad ness.

We don’t e ven real ly know why all I know is, ba by, I (Em7)try and try so hard (A)to keep our love a live.

(D)If you don’t know me at this point then I high ly doubt you ev er will.

I (Bm7)real ly need you to give me that un con di tion al love I used to feel.

It’s a mis take if we just e rase it (Em7)from our hearts and (A)minds and I know (D)we said “let go” but I kept on hang ing on.

(Bm7)In side I know it’s o ver, you’re real ly gone.

(G)It’s kill ing me ’cause there ain’t noth ing that I can do.

Ba by, I stay in love with you.

And I keep on tell ing my self that you’ll come back a round, and I try to front like “Oh well” each time you let me down.

See I can’t get o ver you now, no mat ter what I do, but ba by, ba by, I stay in love with you.

(D)Na na na na na na na na na.

(Bm7)Na na na na na na na na na.

(G)Na na na na na na na na na.

Ba by, I stay in love with you.

It (D)cuts so deep, it hurts down to my soul.

My (Bm7)friends tell me I ain’t the same no more.

We still need each oth er when we stum ble and fall.

How we gon’ act like what we had ain’t (A)noth ing at all now, hey, what I want to do is ride shot gun next to you, with the top down like we used to.

Hit the block proud in the S.

We both know our heart is break ing, can we learn from our mis takes?

I (Em7)can’t last one mo ment a (A)lone, al though I know: (D)We said “let go”, but I kept on hang ing on.

(Bm7)In side I know it’s o ver, you’re real ly gone.

(G)It’s kill ing me ’cause there ain’t noth ing that I can do.

Ba by, I stay in love with you.

And I keep on tell ing my self that you’ll come back a round, and I try to front like “Oh well” each time you let me down.

See I can’t get o ver you now, no mat ter what I do, but ba by, ba by, I stay in love with you.
