STEADY AS SHE GOES
Brooks & Dunn or Wade Hayes
(both artists have cut this song - in the same key)

To(G)night I came home (D) late again, she (G) didn't ask me (C) where I've been 
Her (G) bags were packed and sitting by the (D) door 
She (G) looked at me and (D) said goodbye, I (G) did my best to (C) change her mind 
But (G) she don't wanna (D) hear it any(G)more
              
She's (C) steady as she (D) goes, (G) this time (D/F#) she's not (Em) crying
(C) If I said it (D) didn't hurt, (G) oh I'd be (Em) lying 	 
(C) Where she got the (D) strength to leave (Am) heaven only (G) knows
But she's a (Em) rock, (D) steady as she (G) goes
 
It (G) tears me up to (D) watch her go, but (G) deep inside my (C) heart I know 
(G) Leaving is the only choice she (D) has 
I (G) guess she finally (D) got the nerve to (G) give me just what (C) I deserve 
(G) She's had enough and (D) she ain't lookin' (G) back

She's (C) steady as she (D) goes, (G) this time (D/F#) she's not (Em) crying
(C) If I said it (D) didn't hurt, (G) oh I'd be (Em) lying 	 
(C) Where she got the (D) strength to leave (Am) heaven only (G) knows
But she's a (Em) rock, (D) steady as she (G) goes
 
She's (C) steady as she (D) goes, (G) this time (D/F#) she's not (Em) crying
(C) If I said it (D) didn't hurt, (G) oh I'd be (Em) lying 	 
(C) Where she got the (D) strength to leave (Am) heaven only (G) knows
But she's a (Em) rock, (D) steady as she (G) goes
 
But she's a (Em) rock, (D) steady as she (G) goes
But she's a (Em) rock, (D) steady as she (G) goes
