This one started as a chorus idea I had. Mike and I changed up quite a bit and we built out the melody. I presented it in February as part of a 10x10, so I’m happy to see it all grown up now. :)

I Promise to Stay Mike Michnya and Savannah Rogers

V1: (female singer) G I don’t need the keys to paradise D Fancy dinners by candlelight Em Expensive champagne by the flight A Or a picture-perfect kind of life

V2: (male singer) I don’t need you to cook and clean  Make our house look like a magazine Pick up after or baby me Get dolled up like some beauty queen

Pre-Chorus: G
We don't have to dance every night away
A Am     Ddim7 I’ll still be yours when we’re old and gray

Chorus   C   / D       / G --- / ---- /
I Promise to Stay
C G ​I’ll make your coffee before (I make) my own,           D         G Even on the coldest days C G You’re my north star, my comfort zone A       Asus A7 D My forever and for always   C   / D       / G --- / ---- / I Promise to Stay

V3: (singers alternate lines) (girl) You can leave dirty dishes in the sink,  Snore so loud that I can’t think (guy) Say the meanest and most hateful things You know I won’t even blink

Pre-Chorus: If you drive me crazy every single day Make me mad enough to run away… Chorus: I Promise to Stay ​​I’ll make your coffee before I make my own, Even on the coldest days You’re my north star, my comfort zone My forever and for always I Promise to Stay

Bridge (Singers alternate lines: M-F?-M-F): Bm A
You don't have to say you’re wrong 
         G when you know I’m right A In the middle of some silly fight Bm     A   G A 'Bout worries that keep us up all night
  C   / D       / G --- / ---- / I Promise to Stay

Chorus: I Promise to Stay  ​I’ll make your coffee before I make my own, Even on the coldest days You’re my north star, my comfort zone My forever and for always I Promise to Stay

Tag: Yeah, I Promise to Stay  You could never push me away I Promise to Stay  Even when we’re old and gray Yeah, Babe, I Promise to Stay
