(Intro.)

(Verse 1)
Dear (G)Rodeo
I'd be lying if I try to tell you I don't (C)think about you
After (C)all the miles and the wild nights that (D)we've been through
(D) Lord knows we've had a few
 
(Verse 2)
Dear (G)Rodeo
I'd (G)like to say that I took the reigns and (C)rode away
(C)No regrets, no left-unsaids, just (D)turn the page
(D) Oh, but you know better, babe - - -
 
(Chorus)
'Tween them (C)almost had-'ems and broken bones
The (Am)dream of a buckle I'll never put on
I'm (G)jaded, whoa, I hate it
(D) But some-(C)how the highs outweigh the lows
And I'd (Am)do it all again even though (D)we both know
(D) I'd still have to let you go
 
(Verse 3)
(C) So dear (G)Rodeo
(G) I tried like hell to tell myself it was (C)all your fault
I held on tight with all my might, I just (D)couldn't hang on
(D) And that's hard to hang your hat on
 
(Chorus)
'Tween them (C)almost had-'ems and broken bones
The (Am)dream of a buckle I'll never put on
I'm (G)jaded, whoa, how I hate it
(D) But some-(C)how the highs outweigh the lows
And I'd (Am)do it all again even though (D)we both know
I'd still have to (D)let you go

(Verse 4)
Dear (G)Rodeo
(G) I'd like to think you miss me too, but I (C)know you don't
(C) Oh, but that don't change the past and that don't (D)change the truth
(D) I'm still in love with you
