[Start]

[Verse]
A E                                   A                     
■ Another Jake Break wakes me up to a hotel lobby coffee cup
Dbm7                 B           
That dirty old white pickup truck
         A                                          
With the trailer hooked up by the Denny's she's mine
E                                  
Last night's bugs on the windshield
A                               
Fast food trash on the dash meal
Dbm7                    B          
A speedin' ticket and a doctor bill
       A                             Amaj7 
From a gash I got from a short go in Casper


[Chorus]
A                                  
Summer of last year maybe next year
         E          A        E                   A  
Oh and I ride and I fall one day I might win 'em all
               E                             
It's just some broken hearts and broken bones
      B                                 
And a hell of a whole lot of bein' alone
      E          A            E              A   
But I ride and I roam where I hang my hat is home
E                                           B          A   
This cowboy life might kill me but it's the only one I know


[Verse]
E                         
Cell phone was breakin' up
    A                                       
The night she called to say she'd had enough
      Dbm                   B                 
Of my little white lies and little white lines
    A                                           
And wantin' somebody who could never be with her
E                                    
I look back on every fork in the road
A                                       
That I took to chase that buckle of gold
    Dbm                       B                    A           
And wonder if what I held for what I hold is worth tradin' away
E            A                
Hell I don't ■ know all I know


[Chorus]
     E          A    E                       A  
Is I ride and I fall one day I might win 'em all
               E                             
It's just some broken hearts and broken bones
      B                                 
And a hell of a whole lot of bein' alone
      E          A            E              A   
But I ride and I roam where I hang my hat is home
E                                           B          E   
This cowboy life might kill me but it's the only one I know


[Solo]

[Bridge]
           A                                
Yeah it'll kill me before it ever lets me go
E                                          
It'll kill me but it's the only life I know
        A                               
And I'd rather die than be caught cryin'
                                          B  
So I'll just smilin' and wear my hat down low
            A       
Wear my hat down low


[Chorus]
      E          A        E                   A  
And I ride and I fall one day I might win 'em all
               E                             
It's just some broken hearts and broken bones
      B                                 
And a hell of a whole lot of bein' alone
      E          A            E              A   
But I ride and I roam where I hang my hat is home
E                                           B          E   
This cowboy life might kill me but it's the only one I know
                                                 B          A   
Yeah this cowboy life might kill me but it's the only one I know
