A Reason To Ride chords by Matt Mason

E flat Tuning

Intro: (x2)
Am G F

Verse:
    C
I know lonesome, like the devil 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
