Dear Rodeo
                                            D
I'd be lying if I tried to tell you I don’t think about you
      D                                       E
After all the miles and the wild nights that we been through
              E
Lord knows we had a few

Dear Rodeo
                                          D
I'd like to say that I took the reins and rode away
D                                 E
No regrets, no left-unsaids, just turn the page
                 E            *Pause
Oh, but you know better, babe


[Chorus]
            D
'Tween them almost-had-’ems and broken bones
    Bm
The dream of a buckle I'll never put on
    A              A        * E passing chord*
I'm jaded, whoa, I hate it
        D
But somehow the highs outweigh the lows
        Bm                          E
And I'd do it all again even though we both know
                  E          *D passing chord*
I'd still have to let you go


[Verse 3]
        A
So dear Rodeo
  A                                     D
I tried like hell to tell myself it was all your fault
  D                                       E
I held on tight with all my might, I just couldn't hang on
                   E
And that's hard to hang your hat on


[Chorus]
            D
'Tween them almost-had-’ems and the broken bones
    Bm
The dream of a buckle I’ll never put on
    A                       *E passing chord*
I'm jaded, whoa, I hate it
        D
But somehow the highs outweigh the lows
        Bm                          E
And I’d do it all again even though we both know
                  E
I'd still have to let you go

Dear Rodeo
                                         D
I'd like to think you miss me too, but I know you don't
                                                  E
Oh, but that don’t change the past and that don't change the truth
    E
I'm still in love with you

Dear Rodeo
