Cody Johnson – The Only One I Know Cowboy Life (Guitar)

E                              A
Another Jake break wakes me up to a hotel lobby coffee cup,

      C#m              B                     A
That dirty old white pickup truck with the trailer hooked up by the Denny's she's mine

E                                    A
Last night's bugs on the windshield, fast food trash on the dash meal

C#m                     B                  A                             
A speeding ticket and a doctor bill from a gash I got from a short go in Casper, 

A
Summer of last year, maybe next year

A         E          A         E                   A  
Oh, and I ride and I fall, One day I might win 'em all, 

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

      E          A             E              A
But I ride and I roam, where I hang my hat is home

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

E                                A 
Cell phone was breaking up, the night she called to say she'd had enough

      C#m                B                   A                                  
Of my little white lies, little white lines, wanting somebody who could never be with her

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

    C#m                        B                    A              
And wonder if what I held from what I hold is worth trading away, hell, I don't know

A         E          A         E                   A  
Oh, and I ride and I fall, One day I might win ’em all, 

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

      E          A             E              A
But I ride and I roam, where I hang my hat is home

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

E           A                             
Yeah it'll kill me before it ever lets me go, 

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

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

                A
Wear my hat down low

      E          A         E                   A
And I ride and I fall, One day I might win 'em all, 

          E                                     B
It's just broken hearts and broken bones, and a hell of a whole lot of being alone.

      E          A             E              A
But I ride and I roam, where I hang my hat is home

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

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