Verse 1
A E D
There's a friend who will call when her husband's asleep
G D A
crossin the phone lines for comfort
A A7 D
And she cries that she needs him and someday he'll change
G D E
But now's not a good time to go
A6 A D
And it isn't my place to say leave him and run
A6 A D E
That no love is worth all the damage he's done
A E D A
But if she'll hold her ground then i'll hold my tongue
G D E D
Ever the diplomat Oh, i'd like to think
E D A
That I would be stronger than that.
Chorus
E A E A
Where's her head? Where's her nerve?
E A6 D A
Does part of her think this is all she deserves?
D E
Oh I would be stronger,
A D
I would not stay one minute longer
D E A
I would be stronger than that.
Verse 2 (same chord progression as verse 1)
It started out good, they usually do
Then one day it's taken for granted
Til words become weapons and love turns to pain
Oh why is she still holdin on?
She says livin without him is too hard to face
And I try to imagine myself in her place
But with well chosen words and well placed tears
She forgives him in 2 seconds flat
Oh I'd like to think
That I would be stronger than that.
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
D E7 A6
I know what she's thinking and I know what she'd say
D E7 A6
That my life and her life are like night and like day
D E A
And her love is the love that will save them
G D E
Brave words but I don't believe them
Chorus
D E
Oh I would be stronger
A D
I would not wait one minute longer
D E A6
I would be stronger than that
end with A6 then go to A
