Verse 1:
D MajorD
She only appears in the middle of the dark
When there's no one awake and the doors are all locked
(Riff)
D MajorD
She only drinks one, she's gotta drive home
She never stays long but she never stays gone
(Riff)

Chorus:
        A augmentedA
She never stays gone, see her leave in that little sundress
G+G
Runnin' back from where she came
A augmentedA
Standin' in her shadow I must confess
  G+G
I'm feelin' more pride than shame
    A augmentedA
See her leavin' she's gone to sunny Arizona
   G+G
Cause she's got dreams of her own
   A augmentedA
With babies in the frames and flowers in the corners
G+G
I'd love to let her go, but she never stays gone...

(Intro)
She never stays gone

Verse 2:
D MajorD
She thinks she can love just by sayin' the words
She only lies when she thinks it won't hurt
(Riff)
D MajorD
She never never meant to do nobody wrong
She never stays long but she never stays gone
(Riff)

Chorus:
        A augmentedA
She never stays gone, see her leavin' she's comin' back east now
G+G
Desperate for the ocean air
A augmentedA
Standin' on the shore down to Carter's Beach
     G+G
With the north wind in her hair
     A augmentedA
See her lean against the porch of this old farmhouse
    G+G
Sayin' one more goodbye in the rain
     A augmentedA
With her eyes on the skies and her tears on my shoulder
G+G
God I'd love her to stay, but she never stays gone...

(Intro)
She never stays gone

Bridge/Outro:
G5G5     A5A5           B5B5
Arizona can wait another minute, it ain't goin' anywhere soon
G5G5     A5A5           B5B5
Arizona can wait another minute, it ain't goin' anywhere soon
G+G      A5A5
Arizona can wait
B5B5
Arizona can wait another minute
G5G5     A5A5
Arizona can wait for you
