[Verse 1]
  Am             G
Remember the day we found each other
C              F
Saw your face and forgot every other
Am            G                            C F
First of May, first time I heard your name
Am            G
We were kids spending all day dreaming
C          F
You and I never thought about leaving
Am                   G
I was the king, you were the queen
                  C F
Never slowed down
 
 
[Bridge]
    Am G           C       F
'Til I watched you slip away
         Am                G
Tell me, tell me, just why
                      C     F
Why did your heart change?
 
 
[Chorus]
Am
What are you chasing?
G
 Why are you changing?
C        F
 What do you think you'll find?
Am                  G
Packing up your suitcase, tearing out the driveway
C           F
 You can go, you can take your time
Am          G          C       F
Lights will shine, but I won't fade
Am                G
I'll be here waiting
                      C     F
If you come back this way
                        Am   G C F
'Cause I'm the man who stays
                Am    G C F
I'm the man who stays
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am                    G
You told me that there's got to be more
    C                   F
So what are we stuck in this same town for?
Am                 G                       C F
Don't you know all you need is right here?
 
 
[Bridge]
Am G           C      F
I  watched you slip away
         Am                G
Tell me, tell me, just why
                      C    F
Why did your heart change?
 
 
[Chorus]
Am
What are you chasing?
G
 Why are you changing?
C        F
 What do you think you'll find?
Am                  G
Packing up your suitcase, tearing out the driveway
C           F
 You can go, you can take your time
Am          G          C       F
Lights will shine, but I won't fade
Am                G
I'll be here waiting
                       C   F
If you come back this way
                        Am    G C F
'Cause I'm the man who stays
                Am     G C F
I'm the man who stays
 
 
[Verse 3]
    F                                     G
Oh,  If there were words that I could say
Am
  To keep you here, to make you stay
 C                                  G
I would, but I know that's not the case
F                                G
 If you find you're looking back
Am
  And missing what we use to have
 C                                       G
You should, you should know I haven't changed
                Am    G C F
I'm the man who stays
                Am    G C F
I'm the man who stays
 
 
[Chorus]
Am               G
What are you chasing?
 
Why are you changing?
C         F
 What do you think you'll find?
Am                  G
Packing up your suitcase, tearing out the driveway
C           F
 You can go, you can take your time
Am          G          C        F
Lights will shine, but I won't fade
Am               G
I'll be here waiting
                      C      F
If you come back this way
                       Am    G C F
'Cause I'm the man who stays
                Am     G C F
I'm the man who stays
                Am     G C F
I'm the man who stays
                Am     G C F
I'm the man who stays

Try Capo 3rd fret, Em D G C. Bridge C Em G D

For these chords to sound right with the song you have to tune your guitar down to D G C F A D and then the chord progression is Am G C F

this song should be in Bb, not D
