Standard (EADGBE)

Some boys with warm beds and cold, cold hearts

 Can make you feel nothing at all

 They'll never remember and they'll never mind

 If you're counting the cracks in the wall

 They're quick and they're greedy

 They never feel guilty

 They don't know the meaning of hurt

 The boots just go back on, the socks that had stayed on

 The next time they see you they treat you like dirt

 The next time they treat you like dirt

 Now don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim

 I know lots of those and you're not one of them

 There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in

 And you won't come the cowboy with me

Don't be too rough on my cold, cold heart

 It's all I've got left to me now

 I fell out of favour with heaven somewhere

 And I'm here for the hell of it now.

Some girls play cowboys and some boys play harder to get

 But they're got just the same

 They smile and say cheese They're so eager to please

 But they'll never remember your name

 The names and the places all change

 But don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim

 I know lots of those and you're not one of them

 There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in

 And you won't come the cowboy with me

 Did somebody tell you I'm lonely as hell?

 I didn't expect you to know me so well

 If I learned a lesson it's how to bounce back again

Sometimes I bounce off the wall

 And sometimes my head hits the floor

 So don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim

 I know lots of those and you're not one of them

 There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in

 And you won't come the cowboy

 Oh don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim

 I know lots of those and you're not one of them

 There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in

 And you won't come the cowboy with me
