Verse 1:

D
Met her in a bar
    G       A           D
Oh, how I remember that day
D
Beer was flowing off tap
              G        A         D
And I was the drunkest there I'd say
D                       G                D
Pretty little woman who left me high and dry
    D                              G     A        D
Who took my ass home because I was in no state to drive

Verse 2:

D
Back at her place
  G       A          D
I found a six string there
D
She said, do you play
        G    A      D
I said, only if you care
   D                              G                 D
We played all damn night until we found the morning sun
D                                 G         A       D
She went off to work and I almost died from all the rum

G A  D



    G                      A
But if I was a dreamer and little bit better with words
           Bm                             D
I wouldn't be running away from that damn girl
    G                            A
And if I weren't a cowboy then I probably would've stayed
          Bm              A               G
But these roads here look so damn good to me
G   G
    Nearly meant to be

Verse 3:

D
Met her back at school
  G            A       D
I thought that she was great
D
Every time I talked to her
          G     A          D
She had a smile across her face
D                    G         D
Dunno why, why she'd ever love me so
    D                       G      A       D
But just of being country I had to let her go

Verse 4:

D
Days rolled into night
       G           A          D
And my heart still thought of her
D
Never gonna forgive myself
    G      A      D
For what I did to her
      D                               G               D
She's nearly married now, I shouldn't have to feel so bad
      D                             G         A     D
She's got that same damn smile, the same damn one I had

G A  D



    G                      A
But if I was a dreamer and little bit better with words
           Bm                             D
I wouldn't be running away from that damn girl
    G                            A
And if I weren't a cowboy then I probably would've stayed
          Bm              A               G

Verse 5:

D
I have made mistakes
    G        A     D
I'm sure that we all have
D
One day I'll feel
           G      A      D
What those married men have
  D                          G                D
A white picket fence and some kids left for the loving
  D                                 G       A         D
A letter to those special girls who made me feel like something

 G A  D



    G                      A
But if I was a dreamer and little bit better with words
           Bm                             D
