Staying True - Curt Buchan
[Intro]
G C G D G
[Verse 1]
G
These old boots from that high price store,
C G
have finally broken in,
G
I bought them new when I met you,
D D7
forgot how long it’s been,
G
Saw my chance to chase a dream,
C G
ain’t no lookin back,
G
Headin west, with a beat in my chest,
D G
a guitar is all that I packed
[Chorus 1]
C G D Em
Don’t search for a lover when you are feelin lonely,
C G D
You’ll wind up hurtin yourself along the way,
C G D Em
Be patient, stay true, and hold yourself to a higher standard,
C G D
You won’t hear from me I’m just enjoying the view,
D C G
I’m staying true
D C G D
I’m staying true
[Verse 2]
G
I made a stop in Miles City,
C G
in eastern Montana,
G
It’s hot as hell, but they treated me well,
D D7
like the folks in Texarkana,
G
The cowboys in the bar rooms,
C G
would look me up and down,
G
And wondered how a New York boy like me
D G
is making these country sounds,
[Chorus 2]
C G D Em
Don’t search for a lover when you are feelin lonely,
C G D
Give your heart to someone who deserves to stay,
C G D Em
Be patient, stay true, and hold yourself to a higher standard,
C G D
You won’t hear from me I’m just enjoying the view,
D C G
I’m staying true
D C G D
I’m staying true
C G D Em x4
[Verse 3]
G
We spent a night north of Yellowstone,
C G
In the town of Emigrant,
G
Got messed up at a Colter Wall show,
D D7
All my money was spent,
G
Drinkin coors all night long
C G
under the blanket of western stars,
G
If there’s one thing I’ve learned is to keep your head
D G
but always give your heart
Chorus Final
C G D Em
Don’t search for a lover when you are feelin lonely,
C G D
You’ll wind up hurtin yourself along the way,
C G D Em
Be patient, stay true, and hold yourself to a higher standard,
C G D
You won’t hear from me I’m just enjoying the view,
D C G
I’m staying true
D C G D
I’m staying true
C G D Em
