Steady As She Goes - Wade Hayes
E|-------------------------------|

This song is on the "Old enough to know better" CD and was written by Don Cook
along with Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn of Brooks & Dunn. I guess you could kinda
tell 'cause the chord sequence in the verses is identical to that of Brooks &
Dunn's "Workin' on my next broken heart"...

INTRO:  C   D   Am  G  Em  D   G   G

G                   D               G             C
Tonight I came home late again, she didn't ask me where I've been

G                                       D
Her bags were packed and sitting by the door

G                    D               G              C
She looked at me and said goodbye, I did my best to change her mind

G                   D          G
But she don't wanna hear it anymore

              C             D     G         D/F#          Em
CHORUS: She's steady as she goes, this time she's not crying

        C            D            G  D/F#   Em
        If I said it didn't hurt, oh I'd be lying

        C                 D                 Am          G
        Where she got the strength to leave Heaven only knows

                   (N.C.) Em D             G
        But she's a rock,    steady as she goes

INTRO

G                 D                 G                      C
It tears me up to watch her go, but deep inside my heart I know

G                              D
Leaving is the only choice she has

G                   D                G                 C
I guess she finally got the nerve to give me just what I deserve

G                    D                 G
She's had enough and she ain't lookin' back

CHORUS

CHORUS

       (N.C.) Em D              G
she's a rock,    steady as she goes

      (N.C.) Em  D             C         G
she's a rock,    steady as she goes.
