The Cowboy In Me - Tim McGraw
Album: Set This Circus Down
Writers: Al Anderson/Jeffery Steele/Craig Wiseman 

Intro: (twice) 
E---------0-----------2-0-----
B-------3---3---3---------3---   ------This is also the main picking progression
G-----2-------2-----2---------          throughout the song on the D chords.
D---0-------------0-----------          The picking goes back and forth from a
A-----------------------------          Dsus2 chord to a D so you can strum either  
E-----------------------------          chord or mix it up how you choose if strumming 
                                        the verses.
 
D                   G            D
I don't know why I act the way I do 
D                   A               D
Like I ain't got a single thing to lose 
D                 G           D  G
Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy 
D                        A        D
I guess that's just the cowboy in me 

D                  G                  D
I got a life that most would love to have 
D                      A                  D
But sometimes I still wake up fightin' mad 
D                       G                  D   G
At where this road I'm heading down might lead 
D                        A         D
I guess that's just the cowboy in me 


Chorus:

D                     G
The urge to run, the restlessness 
D                     G
The heart of stone I sometimes get 
D                          G
The things I've done for foolish pride 
A                        Asus               
The me that's never satisfied 
D                       G             D          A      G  
The face that's in the mirror when I don't like what I see 
D                        A        D
I guess that's just the cowboy in me 



Instrumental: D  G  D  G  D  A  D

 
CHORUS


D                    G                   D
Girl I know there's times you must have thought 
D                          A               D
There ain't a line you've drawn I haven't crossed 
D                         G                 D     G
But you set your mind to see this love on through 
   D                     A         D
I guess that's just the cowboy in you 

D                  G               D   G
We ride and never worry about the fall 
D                        A            D
I guess that's just the cowboy in us all
