[Verse 1]
                  G      D        C
I've packed these bags a thousand times
           G          D     C
If not for real, then in my mind
                G        D       C
'Cause darlin', our love all but died
      Am  C       D
Long ago,   long ago
         G         D            C
But each time I've crossed that door
               G                   D          C
My heart says, one chance, give it one chance more
           G       D      C
Love might find us like before
                  Am   C            D
But Lord, don't I know   that ain't so.


[Chorus]
         G             Bm
Still, I stay, still I hope
              C                                  G
Someday we'll find the love we lost on down that road
             Em        D     C     Bm        Am
And that somehow these dyin' hearts   can be saved
G               D
  Just might be saved
         G               Bm
Still, I stay with these dreams
              C                     G
And pray that it's not as bad as it seems
       Em       D         C    D       G
But it is, it's just that way, still I stay.

[Verse 2]
           G         D     C
It might appear that I'm a fool
         G       D         C
Just for stayin' here with you
        G       D          C
And sometimes I swear it's true
           Am  C            D
What can I say?  Nothin' to say
                G       D       C
'Cept I'm won't run and I won't turn
           G               D           C
As long as this hope in my heart still burns
            G         D       C
Sure, you'd think I'd finally learned
          Am  C       D
But not today,  not today.


[Chorus]
         G             Bm
Still, I stay, still I hope
              C                                  G
Someday we'll find the love we lost on down that road
             Em        D     C     Bm        Am
And that somehow these dyin' hearts   can be saved
G               D
  Just might be saved
         G               Bm
Still, I stay with these dreams
              C                     G
And pray that it's not as bad as it seems
       Em       D         C    D       G    G
But it is, it's just that way, still I stay.
       Em       D         C    D       G     D C  G D  C   G D  C G
Oh, it is, it's just that way, still I stay
