Chords

[Intro] Gmaj7 [Verse 1]
D                              G
Another Jake break wakes me up to a hotel lobby coffee cup

      Bm               A                     G
That dirty old white pickup truck with the trailer hooked up by the Denny's she's mine

D                                    G
Last night's bugs on the windshield, fast food trash on the dash meal

Bm                      A                  G
A speeding ticket and a doctor bill from a gash I got from a short go in Casper

G                   G
Summer of last year, maybe next year
[Chorus]
G         D          G         D                   G
Oh, and I ride and I fall, one day I might win 'em all

          D                                     A
It's just broken hearts and broken bones, and a hell of a whole lot of being alone

      D          G             D              G
But I ride and I roam, where I hang my hat is home

     G                                       A          G
This cowboy life might kill me, but it's the only one I know
[Verse 2]
D                                G
Cell phone was breaking up, the night she called to say she'd had enough

      Bm                 A                   G
Of my little white lies, little white lines, wanting somebody who could never be with her

D                                          G
I look back on every fork in the road that I took to chase that buckle of gold

    Bm                         A                    G             G
And wonder if what I held from what I hold is worth trading away, hell, I don't know

G
All I know
[Chorus]
G         D          G         D                   G
Oh, and I ride and I fall, one day I might win 'em all

          D                                     A
It's just broken hearts and broken bones, and a hell of a whole lot of being alone

      D          G             D              G
But I ride and I roam, where I hang my hat is home

     D                                       A          D
This cowboy life might kill me, but it's the only one I know
[Bridge] D [Verse 3]
D            G
Yeah, it'll kill me before it ever lets me go

      D
It'll kill me, but it's the only life I know

        G                                                                      D   A
And I'd rather die than be caught crying, so I just smile and wear my hat down l—o-w

                G
Wear my hat down low
[Chorus]
      D          G         D                   G
And I ride and I fall, one day I might win 'em all

          D                                     A
It's just broken hearts and broken bones, and a hell of a whole lot of being alone

      D          G             D              G
But I ride and I roam, where I hang my hat is home

     D                                       A          D
This cowboy life might kill me, but it's the only one I know

                                                    A    D     G     D
Yeah, this cowboy life might kill me, but it's the only one I know
