Intro: A D F#m E

A D F#m E
He's going back to Georgia
Because he knows time, and time has come
Don't even know if she'll be waiting
Because he's been gone for way too long

A D F#m E
How long will you stay?
Boy, you don't got nine lives to waste
How long will you stay?
Saving time, losing grace

A C F#m E
She believed every word he told her
About the troubles and how they start
She didn't listen to the laughter
She only listened to her heart

A D F#m E
How long will you stay?
Boy, you don't got nine lives to waste
How long will you stay?
Saving time, losing grace

D G F#m A
She didn't believe
She didn't believe
She didn't believe
D G F#m E
She didn't believe

A D F#m E
He made a promise to no one
That he could right a wrong
He wanted to do something just
But he was just gone

A D F#m E
How long will you stay?
Boy, you don't got nine lives to waste
How long will you stay?
Saving time, losing grace

D G F#m A
She didn't believe
She didn't believe
She didn't believe, believe, believe

D G F#m A (muted)
She didn't believe what they told her, about her lover
Nothing left bet her tears, and theirs were laughter
Forever after
