Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][C][C]
[D][D][G][G]

[Verse 1]
I [G]knew the stakes were high
right from the [C]start
[D]When she dealt the cards, I bet my [G]heart
Now I just found a game that I can't [C]play
And [D]this is where the cowboy rides a[G]way

[Chorus 1]
And my [G]heart is sinking like the setting [C]sun
[D]Setting on the things I wish I'd [G]done
It's time to say goodbye to yester[C]day
[D]This is where the cowboy rides a[G]way

[Interlude 1]
[G][G][C][C]
[D][D][G][G]

[Verse 2]
We've been [G]in and out of love and in-bet[C]ween
And [D]now we play the final showdown [G]scene
As the credits roll, a sad song starts to [C]play
And [D]this is where the cowboy rides a[G]way

[Chorus 2]
And my [G]heart is sinking like the setting [C]sun
[D]Setting on the things I wish I'd [G]done
Oh, the last goodbye's
the hardest one to [C]say
[D]This is where the cowboy rides a[G]way
Oh, the last goodbye's
the hardest one to [C]say
[D]This is where the cowboy rides a[G]way
