Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
[D]Broken bones
and broken hearts
And [G]I've had my shoulder torn apart
But it's [D]nothin' like the
pain I felt when [G]I lost you
[D]Honky- tonks and short brown checks
And [G]all those late nights I regret
And I [Bm]left you all alone, crying,
wonderin' why I [A]lay it all [Asus4]on the line
[A]I've earned

[Verse 2]
[D]scars and I've
earned buckles
Been in [G]the chutes with blood
on my knuckles
I've driven [D]all night long,
tryin' to make [A]a rodeo
I'm strong as a [D]freight train,
just as steady
Crack [G]the gate,
you know I'll be ready
And I'm gonna [Bm]hang on un[A]til the ride
[G]is [A]through

[Interlude 1]
'Cause that's what cowboys do
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]Worn out dually full of whiskey dents
And [G]memories of the time we spent
[D]A million miles of blacktop never
[G]led me home to you
[D]Eight seconds of pain and fame
And these [G]thoughts of
you drive me insane
[Bm]Left you all alone, crying,
wonderin' why I [A]lay it all on the line

[Verse 4]
I've earned [D]scars and I've
earned buckles
Been [G]in the chutes with blood
on my knuckles
I've driven [D]all night long,
tryin' to make [A]a rodeo
I'm strong as a [D]freight train,
just as steady
Crack [G]the gate,
you know I'll be ready
And I'm [Bm]gonna hang on un[A]til the ride
[G]is [A]through
'Cause that's what cow[D]boys do

[Interlude 2]
[G][D][G]
[D][Dsus4][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 5]
[D]One day when the glory's gone
And I've [G]got no strength to carry on
[Bm]I'll realize the only thing
I should've [A]held on to was you

[Verse 6]
I've earned [D]scars and
I've earned buckles
Been [G]in the chutes with blood
on my knuckles
I've driven [D]all night long,
tryin' to make [A]a rodeo
I'm strong as a [D]freight train,
just as steady
Crack [G]the gate,
you know I'll be ready
And I'm [Bm]gonna hang on [A]un til the ride
[G]is [A]through
'Cause that's what cowboys do
[D]

[Verse 7]
[G]
That's what cowboys [D]do[G]
[D]Broken bones and broken hearts
[G]
