Intro: A5 D5 F#5 E5
A5 D5 F#5 E5
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
A5 D5 F#5 E5
How long will you stay?
Boy, you don't got nine lives to waste
How long will you stay?
Saving time, losing grace
A5 C5 F#5 E5
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
A5 D5 F#5 E5
How long will you stay?
Boy, you don't got nine lives to waste
How long will you stay?
Saving time, losing grace
D5 G5 F#5 A5
She didn’t believe
She didn’t believe
She didn’t believe
D5 G5 F#5 E5
She didn’t believe
A5 D5 F#5 E5
He made a promise to no one
That he could right a wrong
He wanted to do something just
But he was just gone
A5 D5 F#5 E5
How long will you stay?
Boy, you don't got nine lives to waste
How long will you stay?
Saving time, losing grace
D5 G5 F#5 A5
She didn’t believe
She didn’t believe
She didn’t believe, believe, believe
D5 G5 F#5 A5 (muted)
She didn’t believe what they told her, about her lover
Nothing left bet her tears, and theirs were laughter
Forever after
