[Intro]
E E/G# F#m7 E D D/F# Bm7 E
[Verse]
A E/G# F#m7 EWish 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 EBut we met slingin' drinks at a dive bar down on Central Street
D A/C# Bm7 EWhen I was 23 and had growin' up to do
DAnd we'd toss back beers under neon lights
EAnd talk about what we want in life
Bm A/C# DBut 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 DIn the front row of my shows
A/C# Bm7 ESingin' every word to every song I wrote
AShe stayed
E/G# F#m7Strong when I was weak
E DUp all night to comfort me
A/C#When everyone around me changed
Bm7 EShe stayed the same
D EWhen 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 EShe zipped up my dress, put on my shoes, stood next to me when I said I do
D A/C# Bm7 EThat summer day in twenty twenty two
A E/G# F#m7 EWe all raised glass and she gave a speech, full of drunken stories of a younger me
D A/C# Bm7 EAnd we never knew that night would end so soon
DBut when my fairytale went up in smoke
EI packed up the only life I've known
Bm7 A/C# DAnd 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 DIn the front row of my shows
A/C# Bm7 ESingin' every word to every song I wrote
AShe stayed
E/G# F#mStrong when I was weak
E DUp all night to comfort me
A/C#When everyone around me changed
Bm7 EShe stayed the same
D EWhen every boy who ever loved me walked away
A E/G#F#m7She stay-ayeeeeeeeeeed
E D A/C# Bm7 EShe 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
ESome change with the seasons
Bm7Blow away with the wind
A/C#I looked around when the leaves turned
DWhen I thought every bridge burned
E Bm7 A/C#She pulled me out the rubble again
DMy best friend
N.C.
She stayed
[Instrumental]
E E/G# F#m7 E
D A/C#She stayed
Bm7 EOh woh oh woh oh
[Chorus]
A E/G# F#m7 On the phone when I'm missin' home
E DIn the front row of my shows
A/C# Bm7 E ASingin' every word to every song I wrote
E/G# F#m7Strong when I was weak
E DUp all night to comfort me
A/C#When everyone around me changed
Bm EShe stayed the same
D EWhen every boy who ever loved me walked away
Bm A/C# DOh I thank the Good Lord every single day
N.C.
She stayed
