♫ Verse 1:
Am   G/B      C       F
He's as tough as the tattoos up his right arm
     Am    G/B    C           F
And I've talked him down from getting in a fight or two
  Am     G/B       C              F
He stands his ground, he's as stubborn as the weeds in the backyard
    Am   G/B     C         F
'Cause growing up he had to go where the wind blew

  Am    G/B    C          F
He hides his heart and hurt 'cause he kinda had to
   Am    G/B  C         F
In a world that says "Saddle up and be a man"
     Am    G/B      C     F
When the sun goes down and his hazel eyes go blue
      Am G/B C     F
That's when I  I  I understand



     C       F
Cowboys cry toooo-oo-oo-oo
       Am7            G/B
They may not let 'em fall down in their hometown
        F
Thinking they still gotta shit to prove

        C     F
That well runs deeeee-ee-eep
        Am7           G/B
But when he's showing his skin, letting me in
       F
That's when he's toughest to me

C    Dm7
I never knew
 G      F F/A Dm7  C
Cowboys cry tooooooooooooooo


♫ Verse 2:
      Am    G/B       C       F
Well I grew up wishing I could close off the way my dad did
      Am    G/B     C           F
'Cause that man never felt a damn thing he didn't wanna feel
        Am    G/B       C        F
But I've burned too many miles trying to ride out all the sadness
        Am   G/B    C            F
But you can't outdrive pain, someday it's gonna take the wheel

      Am      G/B    C      F
Can't be alone but don't wanna get close to anybody
         Am       G/B    C         F
Don't wanna bare teeth but don't wanna look weak, it's a tough spot
      Am     G/B  C         F
But I'm afraid you'll walk away when the tears start running
  Am G/B  C    F
But I  I  I hope not


     C       F
Cowboys cry toooo-oo-oo-oo

♫ Bridge:
          F
Blame it on their fathers
             C/E
The ones that said they'd stay
          Dm
Or blame it on the songs
               c
That tell you they all ride away

           G
But mine ain't that way

I ain't that way
