E                     A 
Boots in the stirrups out of the gate 
E                  B 
Tryin' to hold the reins 
E                 A 
Prayin that I can just sit tight 
E        B       E 
Man this love is strange 
 
 
E                        A 
Up like a rocket spinnin round like a top 
E                    B 
My strength is fadin fast 
E               A 
I shoulda known when I climbed on 
   E           B           E     D-B 
My next breath could be my last 
 

A                    E 
Some days I'm in the saddle 
A               E 
Some days I get thrown 
A                E 
Some days I hold on for dear life 
                                D  
Cause this love is sure 'nough  like a rodeo

Eight short seconds lasts a long long time 
E                 B 
My life flashed before my eyes 
E                       A 
Ain't never been bucked like this before 
      E                B       E    D-B 
But I got to thank you for the ride

A                E 
Some days I hold on for dear life
