[Verse]
G C
I knew the stakes were high right from the start
D D7
When she dealt the cards I bet my heart
G C
Now I just found a game that I can't play
D D7
And this is where the cowboy rides away
G C
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun
D D7
Setting on the things I wish I'd done
G C
It's time to say goodbye to yesterday
D D7
And this is where the cowboy rides away

[Verse]
G C
We've been in and out of love and in between
D D7
And now we play the final showdown scene
G C
As the credits roll a sad song starts to play
D D7
And this is where the cowboy rides away
G C
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun
D D7
Setting on the things I wish I'd done
G C
Oh, the last goodbye's the hardest one to say
D D7
And this is where the cowboy rides away
G C
Oh, the last goodbye's the hardest one to say
D D7
This is where the cowboy rides away
