Verse 1:
DShe only appears in the middle of the dark
When there's no one awake and the doors are all locked
(Riff)
DShe only drinks one, she's gotta drive home
She never stays long but she never stays gone
(Riff)
Chorus:
She never stays Agone, see her leave in that little sundress
GRunnin' back from where she came
AStandin' in her shadow I must confess
I'm Gfeelin' more pride than shame
See her Aleavin' she's gone to sunny Arizona
Cause Gshe's got dreams of her own
With Ababies in the frames and flowers in the corners
GI'd love to let her go, but she never stays gone...
(Intro)
She never stays gone
Verse 2:
DShe thinks she can love just by sayin' the words
She only lies when she thinks it won't hurt
(Riff)
DShe never never meant to do nobody wrong
She never stays long but she never stays gone
(Riff)
Chorus:
She never stays Agone, see her leavin' she's comin' back east now
GDesperate for the ocean air
AStandin' on the shore down to Carter's Beach
With the Gnorth wind in her hair
See her lAean against the porch of this old farmhouse
Sayin' Gone more goodbye in the rain
With her Aeyes on the skies and her tears on my shoulder
GGod I'd love her to stay, but she never stays gone...
(Intro)
She never stays gone
Bridge/Outro:
G5Arizona can A5wait another minute, it B5ain't goin' anywhere soon
G5Arizona can A5wait another minute, it B5ain't goin' anywhere soon
GArizona can A5wait

G5Arizona can A5wait for you

Sayin' one more goodbye in the rain

With her eyes on the skies and her tears on my shoulder

God I'd love her to stay, but she never stays gone...
