I Would Be Stronger Than That

[Intro]
F  G  F    C

[Verse]
                                        Dm7
There's a friend who will call when her husband's asleep
F            C                        F
Crossing the phone lines for comfort
        C                              Dm7
And she cries that she needs him, that someday he'll change
    F           C            G
But now's not a good time to go

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

[Chorus]
G           C
Where's her head?
G           C
Where's her nerve?
G           Am             F         C
Part of her thinks this is all she deserves?
    F          G
Oh, I would be stronger
  C                 F
I wouldn't stay one minute longer
           G            C
I would be stronger than that

[Verse]
                                        Dm7
Well, it started out good, they usually do
     F            C                  F
Then one day it's taken for granted
     C                                  Dm7
'Til words become weapons and turn into pain
    F         C             G
Oh, why's she still holding on?

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

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

[Chorus]
            C
Where's her head?
G           C
Where's her nerve?
G           Am             F         C
Part of her thinks this is all she deserves?
    F          G
Oh, I would be stronger
  C                 F
I wouldn't stay one minute longer
           G            C
I would be stronger than that
    F          G
Oh, I would be stronger
  C                 F
I wouldn't stay one minute longer
           G          F      C
You can be stronger than that___
      F       C
Stronger than that
