CAPO: NONE
INTRO:
One. two. three, four
F F F Bb
VERSE:
F
Broken bones and broken hearts, and I`ve
Bb
Had my shoulder torn apart
F Bb
But it`s nothin` like the pain I felt when I lost you
F
Honky-tonks and short brown checks
Bb
And all those late nights I regret
PRE-CHORUS:
Dm
I left you all alone, crying,
C
Wonderin` why I lay it all on the line
CHORUS:
F
`Cause I`ve earned scars and I`ve earned buckles
Bb
Been in the chutes with blood on my knuckles
F C
I`ve driven all night long, tryin` to make a rodeo
F
I`m strong as a freight train, just as steady
Bb
Crack the gate, you know I`ll be ready
Dm C Bb Bb
And I`m gonna hang on until the ride is through
C F Bb F Bb
`Cause that`s what cowboys do
VERSE:
F
Worn out dually full of whiskey dents, and
Bb
Memories of the time we spent
F Bb
A million miles of blacktop never led me home to you
F
Eight seconds of pain and fame, and these
Bb
Thoughts of you drive me insane
PRE-CHORUS:
Dm
I left you all alone, crying,
C
And wonderin` why I lay it all on the line
CHORUS:
F
`Cause I`ve earned scars and I`ve earned buckles
Bb
Been in the chutes with blood on my knuckles
F C
I`ve driven all night long, tryin` to make a rodeo
F
I`m strong as a freight train, just as steady
Bb
Crack the gate, you know I`ll be ready
Dm C Bb Bb
And I`m gonna hang on until the ride is through
C F Bb F Bb
`Cause that`s what cowboys do
BREAK:
F
One day when the glory`s gone, and I`ve
Bb
Got no strength to carry on
Dm C C
Realize the only thing I should`ve held on to was you
CHORUS:
F
And I`ve earned scars and I`ve earned buckles
Bb
Been in the chutes with blood on my knuckles
F C
I`ve driven all night long, tryin` to make a rodeo
F
I`m strong as a freight train, just as steady
Bb
Crack the gate, you know I`ll be ready
Dm C Bb Bb
And I`m gonna hang on until the ride is through
C F
`Cause that`s what cowboys do
OUTRO:

That`s what cowboys do
