(Capo on 4)

(Intro.)
|(Em)(D/F#)(G)(G/B)|(C)

(Verse 1)
(Em)He's as (D/F#)tough as the (G)tattoos (G/B)up his (C)right arm
And I've (Em)talked him (D/F#)down from (G)getting in a (G/B)fight or (C)two
He (Em)stands his (D/F#)ground, he's as (G)stubborn as the (G/B)weeds in the (C)backyard
'Cause (Em)growing (D/F#)up, he had to (G)go where the (G/B)wind (C)blew
He (Em)hides his (Em)heart and (Em)hurt, guess he (Em)kinda had (Em) to
And a (Em)world that (D/F#)says, "(G)Saddle up and (G/B)be a man" (C)
When the (Em)sun goes (D/F#)down and his (G)hazel eyes (C)go blue
That's when (Em)I (D/F#) (G) (G/B)under-(C)stand

(Chorus)
Cowboys (G)cry too (C)
They may not (Em)let 'em fall down in their (D/F#)hometown thinkin' they (C)still got s**t to prove
That well runs (G)deep (C)
But when he's (Em)showin' his skin, lettin' (D/F#)m„u in, that's when (C)he's toughest to m„u
I never (Am)knew (D) cowboys cry (C) too (Am) (G)

(Verse 2)
I grew (Em)up wishing (D/F#)I could close (G)off the way my (C)dad did
'Cause that (Em)man never (D/F#)felt a damn (G)thing he didn't wanna feel (C)
But I've burned (Em)too many (D/F#)miles tryna (G)ride out all the (C)sadness
But you can't (Em)outdrive (D/F#)pain, some-(G)day it's gonna take the wheel (C)
Can't be a-(Em)lone, but don't (D/F#)wanna get (G)close to anybody (C)
Don't wanna bare (Em)teeth, but don't (D/F#)wanna look (G)weak, it's a tough spot (C)
But I'm a-(Em)fraid you'll (D/F#)walk a-(G)way when the tears start (C) runnin'
But (Em)I (D/F#) (G) hope not (C)

(Chorus)
'Cause cowboys cry (G) too (C)
They may not (Em)let 'em fall down in their (D)hometown thinkin' they (C)still got s**t to prove
That well runs (G) deep (C)
But when he's (Em)showin' his skin, lettin' (D)m„u in, that's when (C)he's toughest to m„u
I never (Am)knew (D) cowboys cry (C) too (G/B) (Am) (D)
 
(Guitar Solo)
|(Em)(D/F#)(G)(G/B)|(C) / / / |(Em)(D/F#)(G)(G/B)|(C) / / / |

(Bridge)
(C)Blame it on their fathers
The (C)ones that said they'd (G/B)stay
Or (G/B)blame it on the songs that tell you they all ride a-(C)way
But mine ain't (D)that way (I an't that way)
 
(Outro.)
Cowboys (G)cry too (C)
They may not (Em)let 'em fall down in their (D)hometown thinkin' they (C)still got s**t to prove
That well runs (G/B)deep (C)
But when he's (Em)showin' his skin, lettin' (D)m„u in, that's when (C)he's toughest to m„u
I never (Am)knew (D) cowboys cry (C) too (Am) (G)
(Em)Mm, (D)mm, (C)mm, (G/B)mm (G) - - - - -
