Intro: G Em7 Cadd9 Dsus4 D
Verse:
G Em7
I drive around this town in a Mustang with the top down
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
Six running horses under my hood, well that's good enough for me
G
I don't need the real thing
Em7 Cadd9
It's just another thing for me to try and tame
Dsus4 D Dsus4
Don't know if I could; It might just break me
Pre-Chorus:
Em7 Cadd9 G
I thought that for a little while
D Em7 Cadd9 G D
Every sunset I'd be running off with him
G Em7 Cadd9
Snap buttons on a denim shirt, blue jeans and a little dirt
D Dsus4 D
That's the closest you'll see me
G Em7 Cadd9
Feet hanging out a pick-up truck, crazy and a little rough
D
Running free
Em7 Cadd9 D
That's the closest to a cowboy you'll see me
G Em7 Cadd9 Dsus4 D Dsus4
Verse:
G Em7
Before I met him, I was so safe and grounded
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
Before he taught me to lie and crawl out the window
G Em7
I learned the dirt roads and I got my heart broken
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
'Cause that cowboy taught me how to cry and how to let go
Pre-Chorus:
Em7 Cadd9 G
I thought that for a little while
D Em7 Cadd9 G D
Every sunset I'd be running off with him
G Em7 Cadd9
Snap buttons on a denim shirt, blue jeans and a little dirt
D Dsus4 D
That's the closest you'll see me
G Em7 Cadd9
Feet hanging out a pick-up truck, crazy and a little rough
D
Running free
Em7 Cadd9 D
That's the closest to a cowboy you'll see me
G Em7 Cadd9 Dsus4 D Dsus4
Bridge:
Em7 Cadd9 G D
It was all a bit wonderful and strange
Em7 Cadd9 G D
But I'll never look at a sunset the same now
G Em7 Cadd9
Snap buttons on a denim shirt, blue jeans and a little dirt
D Dsus4 D
That's the closest you'll see me
G Em7 Cadd9
Feet hanging out a pick-up truck, crazy and a little rough
D
Running free
G Em7 Cadd9
Sit fishing on a river bank, swimming in a water tank
Dsus4 D Dsus4
That's the closest you'll see me
G Em7 Cadd9
Feet hanging out a pick-up truck, crazy and a little rough
D
Running free
D Dsus4 D
That's the closest you'll see me
