Steady As She Goes - Wade Hayes
-------------------------------

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"...

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

GG Piano Chord 
                                       DD Piano Chord 

Her bags were packed and sitting by the door

                    DD Piano Chord 
               GG Piano Chord 
              CC Piano Chord 

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

GG Piano Chord 
                   DD Piano Chord 
          GG Piano Chord 

But she don't wanna hear it anymore

Where she got the strength to leave Heaven only knows

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

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

GG Piano Chord 
                              DD Piano Chord 

Leaving is the only choice she has

GG Piano Chord

                GG Piano Chord 
                 CC Piano Chord 

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

GG Piano Chord 
                    DD Piano Chord 
                 GG Piano Chord 

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

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