Chords

[Verse 1]
      G
To be fair I should've told you

C                         D
Running from the money is what I do

        G
I don't believe in wealth and excess

               C                  Dadd4
And I have had debt the size of Texas

       G
But I, I didn't follow my dreams

                              C
To dump my money in your slot machine

            C/B                  Am7
And you can take that to the bank

                      D7
Tell the bank man the devil said thanks

G                        G/F#
You know you can't get a drink in this town

Em             C
Without Sunday morning comin' down

G           G/F#         C
And cashing in on the costume

      Dadd4
Yeah, get 'em while they last

    C                       Dadd4
The NRA can kiss my country ass
[Chorus]
G                             G/F#            Em
Just because you got a little dust under your boots

                 C
Doesn't mean you walked a country mile

G         G/F#
You never hopped a train

         C              Dadd4
And your back roads are going outta style

G             G/F#            Em
Listen to the radio and sing along

           C
You're not saying anything

G                     G/F#
Well you never laid a railroad tie

   C                  C/B
Or watched a lonesome cowboy die

   Am7                              D7
Or listened to the bells of freedom ring

    Am7                                  D7
And now that you're just spittin' in the wind

     C               Dadd4             G
It's time for you to let them cowgirls in
[Verse 2]
             G
You got your ten gallon hat

           C                         D
Yeah, your chewing cigars and you're smoking the fat

   G
Tattoos of naked ladies

                    C                  Dadd4
You played the same video games in the 80's

G           G/F#
I hope your vintage guitar

Em                      C
Will take you where the wild things are

G          G/F#                 C
I hope you find your true voice there

        Dadd4
And the ghost of who you are

G                    G/F#           Em
And if they're gonna call you an outlaw

     C
Live fast and die young

G                  G/F#           C          Dadd4
Those songs have already been sung by better men
[Chorus]
G                             G/F#            Em
Just because you got a little dust under your boots

                 C
Doesn't mean you walked a country mile

G         G/F#
You never hopped a train

         C              Dadd4
And your back roads are going outta style

G             G/F#            Em
Listen to the radio and sing along

           C
You're not saying anything

G                     G/F#
Well you never laid a railroad tie

   C                  C/B
Or watched a lonesome cowboy die

   Am7                              D7
Or listened to the bells of freedom ring

    Am7                                  D7
And now that you're just spittin' in the wind

     C               Dadd4             G    G/F#
It's time for you to let them cowgirls in
[Outro]
Am7                                 D7
Now that you're just pissin' in the wind

     C               D                 G
It's time for you to let them cowgirls in
