Capo 4
Em D/F# G C
Em D/F# G C
Mm
Em D/F# G C
He's as tough as the tattoos up his right arm
Em D/F# G C
And I've talked him down from getting in a fight or two
Em D/F#
He stands his ground, he's as
G C
stubborn as the weeds in the backyard
Em D/F# G C
'Cause growing up, he had to go where the wind blew
Em D/F# G C
He hides his heart and hurt, guess he kinda had to
Em D/F# G C
And a world that says, "Saddle up and be a man"
Em D/F# G C
When the sun goes down and his hazel eyes go blue
Em D/F# G C
That's when I understand
G C
Cowboys cry too
Em7
They may not let 'em fall down
D/F# C
in their hometown thinkin' they still got shit to prove
G C
That well runs deep
Em7
But when he's showin' his skin,
D/F# C
lettin' mе in, that's when he's toughest to mе
Am7 D C Am7 G
I never knew cowboys cry too
Em D/F# G C
I grew up wishing I could close off the way my dad did
Em D/F# G C
'Cause that man never felt a damn thing he didn't wanna feel
Em D/F# G C
But I've burned too many miles tryna ride out all the sadness
Em D/F# G C
But you can't outdrive pain, someday it's gonna take the wheel
Em D/F# G C
Can't be alone, but don't wanna get close to anybody
Em
Don't wanna bare teeth, but don't
D/F# G C
wanna look weak, it's a tough spot
Em D/F# G C
But I'm afraid you'll walk away when the tears start runnin'
Em D/F# G C
But I hope not
G C
'Cause cowboys cry too
Em7
D/F# C
G C
That well runs deep
Em7
But when he's showin' his skin,
D/F# C
lettin' mе in, that's when he's toughest to mе
Am7 D C Am7 G
I never knew cowboys cry too
Em7 D/F# G C Em7 D/F# G C
C
Blame it on their fathers
G/B
The ones that said they'd stay
Am
Or blame it on the songs that tell
C
you they all ride away
D
But mine ain't that way
D
I an't that way
[Out-Chorus]
G C
Cowboys cry too
Em7
They may not let 'em fall down
D/F# C
in their hometown thinkin' they still
got shit to prove
C
That well runs deep
Em7
But when he's showin' his skin,
D/F# C
lettin' mе in, that's when he's
toughest to mе
Am7 D C Am7 G
I never knew cowboys cry too
C G C
Mm
