• Capo on 2nd
• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Key: A

Intro:

Em  G  D  Am


Verse 1:
              Em
Can’t ask the whiskey
G
Not to get you drunk
              D
Can’t ask the cigarette that’s glowin’ red
Am
Not to burn your lungs
            Em
Can’t ask a river not to run on around the bend
         G
Or cheap paint not to peel on a picket fence
      D
Can’t ask a heart not to break
  Am
I guess some things aren’t meant to change

Chorus:
C                  Em
Boys like you keep one boot out the screen door
        G
Treat a good thing like a detour
         D
And ride off into the sunset
C                   Em
Boys like you leave ashes in the rearview
       G
Find a new world to strike a match to
         D                   D
Yeah the man you ain’t knows how to stay
    D                  D            Em  G  D  Am7
And boys like you were only made to run


Verse 2:
            Em
Can’t ask a player
   G
To show you all their cards
            D
Can’t ask a coward not to tuck their tail
    Am
And hide out in the dark
            Em
Can’t ask a love you to mean more than it did
     G
Or a liar not to let it roll off their lips
   D
No I won’t die on this hill
        Am
Waitin’ for you to be somethin’ that you never will


Chorus:
      C                  Em
Cause boys like you keep one boot out the screen door
        G
Treat a good thing like a detour
         D
And ride off into the sunset
C                   Em
Boys like you leave ashes in the rearview
       G
Find a new world to strike a match to
         D
Yeah the man you ain’t knows how to stay
                                    Em  G  D
And boys like you were only made to run
Am                              Em
Boys like you were only made to run
