[Verse 1]
B[D]aby----, [F#m/C#] sing me to sleep,
Painful mem[G]ories, when you s[D]ay that you n[A]eed me,
You s[D]ave me ...from l[F#m/C#]eaving things that I might need,
But the mi[G]ssing piece ...is o[D]ut of my re[A]ach!
[Chorus]
But [G]I don't m[A]ind, if you can't [D]be with me [F#m]all of the t[G]ime,
So, be o[G]n your w[A]ay, ...no, that is n[D]ot what I w[F#m]anted to s[G]ay,
I just w[G]ant you, ...no, I n[A7]eed you to s[D]tay!
[Verse 2]
B[D]aby-----, [F#m]sing me to sleep,
Drunken mel[G]odies, when you s[D]ay that you lo[A]ve me,
Well, ma[D]ybe---- I [F#m]need a guarantee,
'Cause the w[G]ay you speak, you're sca[D]ring [A]me!
[Chorus]
But [G]I don't m[A]ind, if you can't [D]be with me [F#m]all of the ti[G]me,
So, be [G]on your w[A]ay, ...no, that is n[D]ot what I w[F#m]anted to s[G]ay,
I just w[G]ant you, ...no, I n[A7]eed you to s[D]tay!
[Verse 3]
And [G]I know, I know that [D]it won't be long,
'Til y[G]ou come a -running, rig[D]hting the wrongs,
Ig - no[G]ring the light, to sw[D]allow the fright,
To m[A]ake it in time to ke[G]ep me s[A]afe to - n[D]ight!
[Verse 4]
Ba[D]by----, [F#m/C#]sing me to sleep,
No a - pol[G]ogies, when you s[D]ay that you l[A]ove me!
[Chorus]
But [G]I don't m[A]ind, if you can't [D]be with me [F#m]all of the t[G]ime,
So, be o[G]n your w[A]ay, ...no, that is n[D]ot what I w[F#m]anted to [G]say,
I just w[G]ant you, ...no, I n[A7]eed you to s[D]tay!
