    G

1. I can't remember last time I thanked you,

       C                             D                      

    keeping my distance unintentionally.

      G

    Too close for comfort, just ain't close enough,

    C                               D  

    if I could have more time we would brainstorm.

           G

    And I love you tender, but we must walk away,

      C                              D                  

    keeping you on my greeting card file.

           G

    And if it were different, did you know it ain't?

    C                            D

    let's get on with it, love.

 

                     G      - Em                         C      D

And call me loyal,          I’ll say, you’re loyal, too,

                       G     - Em                   C       D

I know you’re loyal,         I feel your loyal truth.

              G      - Em                     C       D

Call me loyal,          I’ll hold you loyal, too.

                    C              D                    

and we are loyal - - - keep it that way.

 

+ G - C - D    - G                                       - C - D

                             Keep it that way, girl !

 

      G

2. Out in the battle, flung far and used,

         C                              D

    where does allegiance lie ?

                                 G

    Sometimes when all of your hopes, and all of your dreams,

            C                               D

    are too much to value in one moment.

            G

    And all of us anxious, but why hurry love ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

      C                           D

    History's here and now, oh.

             G

    And why are you waiting, waiting for what ?

             C                      D

    The history of some love ?

 

                           C - D             - C - D - C - D

+CHORUS     +            Baby.

 

                  C       - D    C                                  D

    We are loyal,          haven't you known me long enough girl ?

C - D                  C                              D

          If I could see your heart right now,

                             C                       D 

    maybe there'd be a change or two.

 

+ CHORUS

 

  G      - Em           C                        D

Loyal,          I will say, you’re loyal, too,

                       G     - Em           C                     D

I know you’re loyal,         I will feel your loyal truth.

              G      - Em           C                     D

Call me loyal,          I will hold you loyal, too.

                    F              F                     

and we are loyal - - - keep it that way, baby

 

      F                                  F                       G

+ Keep it that way baby, keep it that way now!
