Don't Go Away (From the album "Black Butterfly")
Tuning: Standard
Pretty standard fare here, nothing too difficult. There could be three
possibly four guitars playing on this one at different parts, but this tab
is pretty much the simplified version of the song for one or two players.
Sounds great played through acoustics as well. Not quite sure of the F#m in
the chrous but I like the feel of it better than an F#.

Verse 1:
Riff 1
In my [Bm]darkest state of [A]mind, I am [Bm]riddled with des[A]pair.
When I [Bm]try and close my [A]eyes, Your [Bm]voice is all I [A]hear.
I will [G]think of you to[Bm]night[A], I will [G]hold back all my [Bm]tears.[A]
I've [G]waited all these ye[F#]ars.
Chrous:
Please don't go aw[D]ay, You're making a mi[A]stake.
You and I were m[Bm]eant to [G]be.
You opened up my e[D]yes, And made me real[A]ize.
Now it's changing e[Bm]verything[G].
It's crazy how I [Em]feel this [F#m]way, I [G]can't exp[A]lain.
G Riff 1
Don't go away.
Verse 2:
I see your [Bm]shadow all the [A]time, I see your [Bm]face inside my [A]mirror.
Like a [Bm]sunset in the [A]sky, You dist[Bm]ract me from my [A]fears.
I keep [G]holding it in[Bm]side,[A] And I w[G]ish that you were n[Bm]ear.[A]
[G]It's better when You're [F#]here.
Chrous:
Please don't go aw[D]ay, You're making a mi[A]stake.
You and I were m[Bm]eant to [G]be.
You opened up my e[D]yes, And made me real[A]ize.
Now it's changing e[Bm]verything[G].
It's crazy how I [Em]feel this [F#m]way, I [G]can't exp[A]lain.
Don't go [G]away.
Bridge:
[Bm]All the [D]things you [G]said, And [Bm]all the g[D]ames we [G]played.
Will come back to [Em]you, See the look in your [G]eyes.
[F#]Ooooh, don't go away.
Solo 1: G-Bm-A-G-F#
Refrain:
Please don't go [D]away, You're making a [A]mistake.
You and I were [Bm]meant to [G]be.
Chrous:
Please don't go aw[D]ay, You're making a mi[A]stake.
You and I were m[Bm]eant to [G]be.
You opened up my e[D]yes, And made me real[A]ize.
Now it's changing e[Bm]verything[G].
It's crazy how I [Em]feel this [F#m]way, I [G]can't exp[A]lain.
Why I [Em]feel this [F#m]way, it's [G]hard to [A]say.
I wanna [Em]make you [F#m]see, what you [G]mean to [A]me.
