[Verse]
|E   A       B    A     |E             A       B   A   |E
 ... . Where have all my friends gone? They've all disappeared ..
 A       B     A    |E        A      B   A       |E
 Turned 'round maybe one day, you're all that was there ..
 
[Pre-chorus]
 AM7   AM7 E   |A        AM7   AM7 E    |A
 Stood by  on believing, stood by  on my own
 A      B       A    |E        A      B   A    |E
 Always thought I was someone, turned out I was wrong ..
 
[Chorus]
       |C#m            F#          |C#m         F#      |
 'Cause you brought me through, and you made me feel so
|E      G#            |A       B            |
 . Blue-ooo, why don't you . stay behind, so
 |E      G#         |A             |F#                 F#m  | riff |
 . Blue, . why don't you stop . and look at what's goin' down?
 
[Verse]
|E      A B      A  |E              A     B    A   |E
 ... If I had an old woman .. she'd never sell me a lie ..
      A       B    A   |E           A     B    A   |E
 It's hard to sing with someone who won't sing with you ..
 
[Pre-chorus]
 AM7  AM7 E    |A      AM7  AM7 E    |A
 Give all of my mercy, give all of my heart
 A     B       A       |E              A   B    A     |E
 Never thought that I'd miss you, that I'd miss you so much
 
[Chorus]
|C#m            F#          |C#m         F#      |
 You brought me through, and you made me feel so
|E      G#            |A       B         |
 . Blue-ooo, why don't you . stay behind
  |E      G#            |A             |F#                 F#m  | riff | E |
So . blue-ooo, why don't you stop . and look at what's goin' down?
 
[Bridge]
|A                B            |A               B
 All my life I've waited for    someone I could show the door
(Stayin' while,   stayin' while waitin'        'round)
    |A                  B             |A                   B
 But . nothin' seems to change 'til    you come back to my arms, so
    (Now that I'm       blue, that I'm blue from now       on, so
 
[Chorus]
|E       G#         |A       B            |
 . Blue, . why don't you . stay behind, so
|E       G#         |A              B                  |
 . Blue, . why don't you, why don't you stay behind, so
|E       G#         |A              B                  |
 . Blue, . why don't you, why don't you stay behind, so           [Outro]

Haven't had a chance to play around with it, but this chart looks to be considerably better than Version 1 of this song. Good job!
