I Would Be Stronger Than That

C  D  C    G

[Verse]
                                        C
There's a friend who will call when her husband's asleep
F            C               G
Crossing the phone lines for comfort
                                     C
And she cries that she needs him and someday he'll change
    F           C            D
But now's not a good time to go

[Verse]
       Em                      C
And it isn't my place to say, "Leave him and run"
     Em                       C           D
That no love is worth all the damage he's done
       G               D            C            G
But if she'll hold her ground, then I'll hold my tongue
F        C       D
Ever the diplomat
    C                      D                        G
Oh, I'd like to think that I would be stronger than that

[Chorus]
D           G     D           G
Where's her head? Where's her nerve?
     D           Em            C         G
Does part of her think this is all she deserves?
    C          D
Oh, I would be stronger
  G                  C
I would not stay one minute longer
           D           G
I would be stronger than that

[Verse]
                          C
It started out good, they usually do
     F            C         G
Then one day it's taken for granted
                              C
'Til words become weapons and love turns to pain
    F          C             D
Oh, why is she still holding on?

[Verse]
          Em                    C
She says, living without him is too hard to face
      Em               C           D
And I try to imagine myself in her place
         G           D         C           G
But with well chosen words and well placed tears
       F            C           D
She forgives him in two seconds flat
    C                      D                        G
Oh, I'd like to think that I would be stronger than that

[Chorus]
D           G     D           G
Where's her head? Where's her nerve?
     D           Em            C         G
Does part of her think this is all she deserves?
    C          D
Oh, I would be stronger
  G                  C
I would not stay one minute longer
           D           G
I would be stronger than that

[Bridge]
        C               D              C
Well, I know what she's thinking and I know what she'd say
     Em          D                 Em
That my life and her life are like night and like day
        C                          G
And her love is the love that will save him
      F          C         D
Brave words, but I don't believe them

[Chorus]
            G         D           G
Where's her head? Oh, where's her nerve?
     D           Em            C         G
Does part of her think this is all she deserves?
    C          D
Oh, I would be stronger
  G                  C
I would not stay one minute longer
           D           G
I would be stronger than that

[Outro]
    C          D
Oh, I would be stronger
  G                  C
I would not stay one minute longer
           D             C          G
I would be stronger than that__
