Intro:
|D |G | x 2

Verse 1:
D                    G
Broken bones and broken hearts and I?fve had my shoulder torn apart
    D                    G
But it nothing like the pain I felt when I lost you
D                   G
Honky-tonks and short brown checks and all those late nights I regret
   Bm                    A
And I left you all alone crying wondering why I lay it all on the line

Chorus:
      D                     G
I've earned scars and I've earned buckles, been in the chutes with blood on my knuckles
      D                   A
I've driven all night long trying to make a rodeo
          D                    G
I'm as strong as a freight train just as steady, crack the gates you know I'll be ready
       Bm     A        G    A
And I'm gonna hang on un- til the ride is through, because that's what cowboys do

Solo:
|D |G | x 2

Verse 2:
D                    G
Worn out duly full of whiskey dents, and memories of the times we spent
D                    G
A million miles of black top that never lead me home to you
D                     G
Eight seconds of pain and fame, and these thoughts of you drive me insane
 Bm                    A
I left you all alone crying wondering why I lay it all on the line

Chorus:
      D                     G
I've earned scars and I've earned buckles, been in the chutes with blood on my knuckles
      D                   A
I've driven all night long trying to make a rodeo
          D                    G
I'm as strong as a freight train just as steady, crack the gates you know I'll be ready
       Bm     A        G    A
And I'm gonna hang on un- til the ride is through, because that's what cowboys do

Solo:
|D |G | x4

Bridge:
D                    G
One day when the glory's gone, and I?fve got no strength to carry on
Bm                    A
I'll realize the only thing I should have held on to is you

Chorus:
      D                     G
I've earned scars and I've earned buckles, been in the chutes with blood on my knuckles
      D                   A
I've driven all night long trying to make a rodeo
          D                    G
I'm as strong as a freight train just as steady, crack the gates you know I'll be ready
       Bm     A        G    A
And I'm gonna hang on un- til the ride is through, because that's what cowboys do

Outro:
D G           D G
That's what cowboys do
D            G
Broken bones and broken hearts
