verse 1:
D
She only appears in the middle of the dark
When there's no one awake and the doors are all locked
(Riff)
D
She only drinks one, she's gotta drive home
She never stays long but she never stays gone
(Riff)
Chorus:
A
She never stays gone, see her leave in that little sundress
G
Runnin' back from where she came
A
Standin' in her shadow I must confess
G
I'm feelin' more pride than shame
A
See her leavin' she's gone to sunny Arizona
G
Cause she's got dreams of her own
A
With babies in the frames and flowers in the corners
G
I'd love to let her go, but she never stays gone...
(Intro)
She never stays gone
verse 2:
D
She thinks she can love just by sayin' the words
She only lies when she thinks it won't hurt
(Riff)
D
She never never meant to do nobody wrong
She never stays long but she never stays gone
(Riff)
Chorus:
A
She never stays gone, see her leavin' she's comin' back east now
G
Desperate for the ocean air
A
Standin' on the shore down to Carter's Beach
G
With the north wind in her hair
A
See her lean against the porch of this old farmhouse
G
Sayin' one more goodbye in the rain
A
With her eyes on the skies and her tears on my shoulder
G
God I'd love her to stay, but she never stays gone...
(Intro)
She never stays gone
Bridge/Outro:
G5A5B5
Arizona can wait another minute, it ain't goin' anywhere soon
G5A5B5
Arizona can wait another minute, it ain't goin' anywhere soon
GA5
Arizona can wait
B5
Arizona can wait another minute
G5A5
Arizona can wait for you
(Intro)
End on Dsus
