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

Chorus:
         C
Well I know she deserves more than
    G                     D
a drifter that lives for the lights,
  C                            G
Smokey bars and guitars don't make for no
            D
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

She's worn a hole in the carpet between
the bed and the phone
She worries about me when I leave 'til
I'm back home
'Cause there's downtime for killin'
There's whiskey and there's women
That's just right for fillin' a need
Oh, but she's in no danger
There's no room for a stranger
In the arms of a cowboy like me

Chorus:
I know she deserves more than a drifter
that lives for the lights
Smoky bars and guitars don't make for
no fairytale life
Every time I head home, I think I'll find her gone
But she's still there and still wants to be
In the arms of a cowboy like me

Yeah, every time I head home, I think
I'll find her gone
But she's still there and still wants to be
In the arms of a cowboy like me
In the arms of a cowboy like me
A cowboy like me
