[Intro]
E E/G# F#m7 E D D/F# Bm7 E
[Verse]
A E/G# F#m7 E
Wish I could tell you that I met her back in grade school
D A/C# Bm7 E
'Cause a couple extra years would have been cool
A E/G# F#m7 E
But we met slingin' drinks at a dive bar down on Central Street
D A/C# Bm7 E
When I was 23 and had growin' up to do
D
And we'd toss back beers under neon lights
E
And talk about what we want in life
Bm A/C# D
But my dreams were callin' and I knew I had to leave
[Chorus]
N.C.
And she stayed
A E/G# F#m7
On the phone when I'm missin' home
E D
In the front row of my shows
A/C# Bm7 E
Singin' every word to every song I wrote
A
She stayed
E/G# F#m7
Strong when I was weak
E D
Up all night to comfort me
A/C#
When everyone around me changed
Bm7 E
She stayed the same
D E
When every boy who ever loved me walked away
She stayed
[Instrumental]
E E/G# F#m7 E D A/C# Bm7 E
[Verse]
A A/C# F#m7 E
She zipped up my dress, put on my shoes, stood next to me when I said I do
D A/C# Bm7 E
That summer day in twenty twenty two
A E/G# F#m7 E
We all raised glass and she gave a speech, full of drunken stories of a younger me
D A/C# Bm7 E
And we never knew that night would end so soon
D
But when my fairytale went up in smoke
E
I packed up the only life I've known
Bm7 A/C# D
And I told her I'm afraid to be alone
[Chorus]
N.C.
She stayed
A A/C# F#m7
On the phone when I'm missin' home
E D
In the front row of my shows
A/C# Bm7 E
Singin' every word to every song I wrote
A
She stayed
E/G# F#m
Strong when I was weak
E D
Up all night to comfort me
A/C#
When everyone around me changed
Bm7 E
She stayed the same
D E
When every boy who ever loved me walked away
A E/G# F#m7
She stay-ayeeeeeeeeeed
E D A/C# Bm7 E
She stayed
[Instrumental]
E E/G# F#m7 E D A/C# Bm7 E
[Break]
Bm7 A A/C# D
Everyone enters your life for a reason
E
Some change with the seasons
Bm7
Blow away with the wind
A/C#
I looked around when the leaves turned
D
When I thought every bridge burned
E Bm7 A/C#
She pulled me out the rubble again
D
My best friend
N.C.
She stayed
[Instrumental]
E E/G# F#m7 E
D A/C#
She stayed
Bm7 E
Oh woh oh woh oh
[Chorus]
A E/G# F#m7
On the phone when I'm missin' home
E D
In the front row of my shows
A/C# Bm7 E A
Singin' every word to every song I wrote
E/G# F#m7
Strong when I was weak
E D
Up all night to comfort me
A/C#
When everyone around me changed
Bm E
She stayed the same
D E
When every boy who ever loved me walked away
Bm A/C# D
Oh I thank the Good Lord every single day
N.C.
She stayed
