Well the sun is hanging low
             G                               D  D
I guess it's my queue to go and leave you behind
 
        D
You'll see my silohuette
        G                    D  D
Fading into the red painted sky
 
     Em                                  A   Asus4 A
The same old scene we've seen a hundred times

                    G     A        D  D
But I don't wanna ride away from you

Before the sad song plays
         A
And the credits roll
      D         G            Bm  Bm G
Well let's try something new-ew

VERSE:
            D
Now I'm supposed to chase the wind
       G                          D   D
Never hang my hat up in the many towns
 
               D
But girl your love has got me wishin'
           G   D         G
That I can do this town different
             D
And stick around mmm
 
              Em
We might can change the script
        Em
But we gotta move quick
 
            A
'Cause the sun is goin' down
 
 
CHORUS:
                   G     A        D  D
And I don't wanna ride away from you

Before the sad song plays

Well let's try something new-ew

Hey what would you say-ay-ay

BREAK:
         Bm
Well I'm no director
     A
And it'd be better
       G                    D
If we watched the end play out together
             Em        Gm
And let the sunset fade
           A          A
Without me in the way
 
 
CHORUS:
N.C.                  G     A        D  D
'Cause I don't wanna ride away from you

Before the sad song plays

And the credits roll

Well let's try something new-ew
 
 G                Em  Em
Lets break the cliche
         G  G
If it's OK
 
 
     Em                A              G  G
And this is where the cowboy's gonna stay
     Em                A              D
And this is where the cowboy's gonna stay
