              G              D/F#
Please don't run, don't give up
             C
You're not alone but I can't help you
               G                 D/F#
Please don't stop, it happens a lot
             C
You're not alone but I can't help you

         G                        D/F#
Well, I never, ever want you to change
        Em                                    C
But my head's up in the clouds while you're drenched in the rain
   G                         D/F#
I don't have any time to explain
       C
I can meet you in the middle but it won't be the same

Chorus:
Am   G/B   C    G               D
 Cowboy   tears, it's okay to cry
Am   G/B   C    G                    D
 Cowboy   tears, rain drops in the sky
Am   G/B   C    G                     D
 Cowboy   tears, there's no place to hide
Am   G/B   C    G
 Cowboy   tears, feels like a good night to die

Stick around, ask for help
Even if you're alone, you can help yourself
Stick it out, don't give up now
Even if you're alone, you can help yourself

I beg you, please, would you put down the gun?
You're standing at the edge and I hope you don't jump
I'll make time for you now, would you wait?
I can meet you at the bottom, but it won't be the same

Chorus
