D                          G               A       D
I'm out here chasin' these rainbows that I need to find,
D                          G         A         D       G     A
I go and Lord knows it kills me to leave her behind,
G
She drew a low card when she gave me her heart,
    G                         D
And sometimes it's hard to believe,
     Bm                                  F#m
That sweet little angel went and got herself tangled
       G             A       D     D
In the arms of a cowboy like me

[Chorus]
       C                                     G                            D
Well I know she deserves more than a drifter that lives for the lights,
C                                   G                      D
Smokey bars and guitars don't make for no fairy tale life,
            Em                       D
And every time I head home I think I'll find her gone,
            G
But she's still there and still wants to be,
       Bm            A       D    G     A
In the arms of a cowboy like me

[Verse 2]
D                              G                        A           D
She's worn a hole in the carpet between the bed and the phone,
    D                     G        A            D
She worries about me when I leave ‘til I'm back home,
                G
Cause there's down time for killin' there's whiskey and there's women,
       G                                D
That's just right for feelin' a need,
       Bm                                    F#m
Oh but she's in no danger there's no room for a stranger,
       G             A       D
In the arms of a cowboy like me

[Chorus]
  C                                   G                                    D
I know she deserves more than a drifter that lives for the lights,
C                                   G                     D
Smokey bars and guitars don't make for no fairy tale life,
      Em                               D
Every time I head home I think I'll find her gone,
            G
But she's still there and still wants to be,
       Bm            A       G   D       G
In the arms of a cowboy like me

[Instrumental]
G D G

[Chorus]
             Em                             D
Yeah every time I head home I think I'll find her gone,
            G
But she's still there and still wants to be,
       Bm        A           G
In the arms of a cowboy like me,
    Bm        A                 D    G
The arms of a cowboy like me
  A           D    G     A     D
A Cowboy like me
