B minorBm 
C majorC G+G B minorBm B minorBm 
A minorAm
VERSE:
G+G B minorBm C majorC G+G
I see you watch her from across the room
G+G A minorAm 
D MajorD
Dancing her home in your mind
G+G B minorBm C majorC G+G
It takes more than whiskey to make that flower bloom
G+G D MajorD G+G
By the third drink you`ll find out she`s mine
CHORUS:
G+G B minorBm
I`ve loved her in secret
C majorC G+G
I`ve loved her out loud
G+G D MajorD
The sky hasn`t always been blue
G+G
It might last forever
C majorC G+G
Or it might not work out
G+G D MajorD G+G
If she ever leaves me it won`t be for you
VERSE:
G+G B minorBm C majorC G+G
She loves wild horses and tumbling dice
G+G A minorAm D MajorD
She don`t have a single tattoo
G+G B minorBm C majorC G+G
She`ll drink all the liquor and leave you the ice
G+G D MajorD G+G
That`s too much cologne, she likes perfume
CHORUS:
G+G B minorBm
I`ve loved her in secret
C majorC G+G
I`ve loved her out loud
G+G D MajorD
The sky hasn`t always been blue

BREAK:
B minorBm C majorC G+G
If she ever leaves it`s gonna be for a woman with more time
B minorBm C majorC G+G
Who`s not afraid to let her dreams come true
E minorEm C majorC G+G C majorC
If she ever gives her careful heart to somebody new
A7A7 D MajorD
Well it won`t be for a cowboy like you

If she ever leaves me it won`t be for you
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
If she ever leaves me it won`t be for you
