Am G F

[Verse]
       C
I know lonesome, like the desert knows the sand
       Am
I know heartache, like the back of my hand
       G
I know leaving, like a river knows to run
       F               G
I know goodbye, like a bullet knows a gun
        C              G
I wanna love you, give you the best of me
        F                 G
I wanna tell you, I ain't ever going to leave
         Am                G               F
And that setting sun won't fall on me this time
           G                               Am
I'm just a cowboy, looking for a reason to ride

[Instrumental]
Am G F

[Verse]
       C
I know that smile, and right where it leads
       Am
I know my heart, and just how it bleeds
        G
And the last thing I want, is to see you get hurt
  F                         G
I keep that saddle on so no body gets burned.
        C              G
I wanna love you, give you the best of me
        F                 G
I wanna tell you, I ain't ever going to leave
         Am                G               F
And that setting sun won't fall on me this time
           G                               Am
I'm just a cowboy, looking for a reason to ride

[Instrumental]
Am G F

[Bridge]
Am                              F                  G
someday I find a way to put the bullet back in the gun
    Am                          F            G
And somehow I found out for the river not to run
    Am                          F              G
And sometime the desert finds a single drop of rain
Am          G
Maybe I can change

[Verse]
          C
And I can love you
     G
Give you the best of me
    F                G
And tell you I ain't ever going to leave
         Am                G               F
And that setting sun won't fall on me this time
         Am                G               F
Naw that setting sun won't fall on me this time

[Outro]
           G                               Am
I'm just a cowboy, looking for a reason to ride
G F        Am       G F
