Cant Be A Cowboy Forever

Tom : D
Em D
Now he don't expect her to stay true to him
Em D
and she never says that she will
Em D
but he's got a first love that just might kill him
Em D
and she knows he's hooked on the thrill
G D
So she'll wait and worry then she'll wait some more
G D
for the fever that drives him to just run its course
Bm D G
she talks to that picture they took their last night together

[Chorus]
D A G D A Em
Says you can't be a cowboy forever, no you can't be a cowboy forever.

[Verse 2]
Em D Em D
Sometimes he calls her he swears that the ground hurts, more than it did yesterday.
Em D Em D
But she knows his voice, and he still sounds determined, to do whatever it takes.
G D G D
So she'll wait and worry then she'll wait some more, for the fever that drives him to just run
its course
Bm D G
the whiskey he drinks said some things last spring that upset her.

[Chorus]
D A G D A Em
But he can't be a cowboy forever, no you can't be a cowboy forever.

[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Em D
Then one night he shows up, and he says what's for dinner
Em D
with that cocky grin on his face.
Em D
the way that she smiled and the way that she held him
Em D
told him he wasn't too late.
Bm D G
As she closed her eyes, and he put that ring on her finger.

[Chorus]
D A G
Said you can't be a cowboy forever,
D A G
No you can't be a cowboy forever,
D A Em
No you can't be a cowboy forever.
