D


[Verse 1]
  G                           D
I talked to your mother and I talked to your dad
     G                             D
They say they've tried, but all in vain
     G
I've begged and I've pleaded
     D        E7
I've even got mad
                         A7
Now we must face it, you give me a pain


[Chorus]
G                         D
How can I miss you if you won't go away?
G                  D
I keep telling you day after day
G                         D               E7
But you won't listen, you always stay and stay
G                         A7        D
How can I miss you if you won't go away?


[Verse 2]
     G                        D
Your neverending presence, it really cramps my style
G                      D
I pray it won't be the same
   G                          D       E7
At first I was attracted, but after a while
                           A7
Have you ever heard of the hard-to-get game?


[Chorus]
G                         D
How can I miss you if you won't go away?
G                  D
I keep telling you day after day
G                         D               E7
But you won't listen, you always stay and stay
G                         A7        D
How can I miss you if you won't go away?


[Verse 3]
       G                     D
Out of 3 billion people, why must it be me?
G                       D
Oh why won't you cut me loose?
     G                 D            E7
Just do me a favor and listen to my plea
                 A7
I'm not the only chicken on the roost


[Out-Chorus]
G                         D
How can I miss you if you won't go away?
G                  D
I keep telling you day after day
G                         D               E7
But you won't listen, you always stay and stay
G                         A7        D
How can I miss you if you won't go away?
