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
