[Verse 1]
   G                                         C
I knew the stakes were high right from the start,
 D                                    G       D
When she dealt the cards I dealt my heart,
    G                                  C
Now I just found a game that I can't play,
 D                               G
This is where the cowboy rides away.


[Chorus]
         G                                C
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun,
 D                                 G       D
setting all the things I wish I'd done.
      G                           C
It's time to say goodbye to yesterday,
  D                              G
this is where the cowboy rides away.

[Verse 2]
           G                              C
We've been in and out of love and in between,       
D                                         G
And now we've played the final showdown scene.
             G                                 C
And as the credits roll a sad song starts to play,
D                               G
This is where the cowboy rides away.


[Chorus 2]
         G                                C
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun,
 D                                 G       D
Setting all the things I wish I'd done.
        G                                 C
Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say,
D                                G
This is where the cowboy rides away.


[Outro]
         G                                C
Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say,
D                                G
This is where the cowboy rides away.
