Tracy Byrd - If i stay

^CLately the ties that bind ^FFeel like a ^Gnoose around my ^Cneck ^{F G C}Chokin' the life from me And ^Fleavin' my ^Gdreams gaspin' for ^Cbreath ^{F G F}I've lost sight and so have you Of the ^Gman you were attracted to ^CWe lost me some ^Gwhere along the ^Fline And ^DmI can't live like this no more ^GKnowing just outside that door ^FThere's a road that ^Gleaves this all be ^Chind

There's a ^Fhalf a tank of freedom in my ^GChevy and I'm leavin' And ^Cthere's nothin' in this ^C/Bworld you can ^Fsay So ^Dmdon't insist on standin' in my ^Fway I can't ^Gfind me if I ^Cstay

^CIf you really love me if you ^Fcare at all You'll ^Ggladly step as ^Cide ^{F G} I've ^Cgiven you the best of me and now the ^Frest of me Is ^Ggonna take a ^Cride ^{F G} There's a ^Fgravel road that turns into a ^Gtwo - lane blacktop highway That ^Cstretches out for ^Gmiles and miles and ^Fmiles And the ^Dmmileposts and the road signs are ^Gpointin' out a white line To a ^Fman I haven't ^Gbeen in quite a ^Cwhile

There's a ^Fhalf a tank of freedom in my ^GChevy and I'm leavin' And there's ^Cnothin' in this ^C/Bworld you can ^Fsay

So ^Dmdon't insist on standin' in my ^Fway I can't ^Gfind me if I ^Cstay ^F I can't ^Gfind me if I ^Cstay ^F I can't ^Gfind me if I ^Cstay ^F G N.C. I can't find me if I stay
