E                             
Some boys with warm beds and cold, cold hearts
    A                        E
Can make you feel nothing at all
        B                   A
They'll never remember and they'll never mind
           D                          A
If you're counting the cracks in the wall
         E
They're quick and they're greedy
      
They never feel guilty
     A                         E
They don't know the meaning of hurt
    B                          A
The boots just go back on, the socks that had stayed on
    D                           A
The next time they see you they treat you like dirt
    B                             E
The next time they treat you like dirt

     E                         A
Now don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim
                                 E
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
           B                           C
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
         B                         E
And you won't come the cowboy with me

E                         
Don't be too rough on my cold, cold heart
     A                       E
It's all I've got left to me now
   B                       A
I fell out of favour with heaven somewhere
         D                       A
And I'm here for the hell of it now.
E                                                    A
Some girls play cowboys and some boys play harder to get
                          E
But they're got just the same
      B                               A
They smile and say cheese They're so eager to please
             D                   A
But they'll never remember your name
     B                        E
The names and the places all change

     E                         A
But don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim
                                 E
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
           B                           C
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
         B                         E
And you won't come the cowboy with me

     E                     
Did somebody tell you I'm lonely as hell?
  A                    E
I didn't expect you to know me so well
   B                        A
If I learned a lesson it's how to bounce back again
D                           A
Sometimes I bounce off the wall
     B                          E
And sometimes my head hits the floor

    E                         A
So don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim
                                E
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
           B                           C
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
         B
And you won't come the cowboy
    E                         A
Oh don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim
                                 E
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
           B                           C
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
     B                             E
And you won't come the cowboy with me
