VERSE:
D
Well the sun is hanging low
G D D
I guess it’s my queue to go and leave you behind

D
You’ll see my silohuette
G D D
Fading into the red painted sky

Em A Asus4 A
The same old scene we’ve seen a hundred times

CHORUS:
G A D D
But I don’t wanna ride away from you

G
Before the sad song plays
A
And the credits roll
D G Bm Bm G
Well let’s try something new-ew

G Em Em
Lets break the cliche
G A
Hey what would you say-ay-ay

N.C. D
If the Cowboy stayed

VERSE:
D
Now I’m supposed to chase the wind
G D D
Never hang my hat up in the many towns

D
But girl your love has got me wishin’
G D G
That I can do this town different
D
And stick around mmm

Em
We might can change the script
Em
But we gotta move quick

A
‘Cause the sun is goin’ down

CHORUS:
G A D D
And I don’t wanna ride away from you

Well let’s try something new-ew

G A
Hey what would you say-ay-ay

G G
If the Cowboy stayed

BREAK:
Bm
Well I’m no director
A
And it’d be better
G D
If we watched the end play out together
Em Gm
And let the sunset fade
A A
Without me in the way

CHORUS:
N.C. G A D D
‘Cause I don’t wanna ride away from you

G
Before the sad song plays
A
And the credits roll
D A Bm Bm G
Well let’s try something new-ew

G Em Em
Lets break the cliche
G G
If it’s OK

Em A G G
And this is where the cowboy’s gonna stay
Em A D
And this is where the cowboy’s gonna stay
