These are Cowboys Cry Too chords by Kelsea Ballerini on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.
[Intro]
Em D/F# G C
Em D/F# G C
Mm
[Verse 1]
Em D/F#
He's as tough as
G
the tattoos
C
up his right arm
Em
And I've talked him
D/F#
down from
G
getting in a fight
C
or two
Em D/F#
He stands his ground,
he's as
G
stubborn as the
C
weeds in the backyard
Em D/F#
'Cause growing up, he
had to
G C
go where the wind blew
Em D/F#
He hides his heart
G
and hurt, guess
C
he kinda had to
Em D/F#
And a world that says, "
G C
Saddle up and be a man"
Em
When the sun goes
D/F#
down and his
G C
hazel eyes go blue
That's when
Em D/F# G C
I understand
[Chorus]
G C
Cowboys cry too
Em7
They may not let 'em
fall down in
D/F#
their hometown thinkin'
C
they still got shit
to prove
G C
That well runs deep
Em7
But when he's showin'
his skin, lettin'
D/F#
mе in, that's when
C
he's toughest to mе
Am7 D
I never knew cowboys
C Am7 G
cry too
[Verse 2]
Em
I grew up wishing
D/F#
I could
G
close off
C
the way my dad did
Em
'Cause that man never
D/F#
felt a damn
G
thing he didn't
C
wanna feel
But I've burned
Em
too many
D/F#
miles tryna
G
ride out all the
C
sadness
But you can't
Em D/F#
outdrive pain,
G
someday it's
C
gonna take the wheel
Em
Can't be alone,
but don't
D/F#
wanna get
G C
close to anybody
Em
Don't wanna bare teeth,
but don't
D/F# G
wanna look weak,
C
it's a tough spot
Em
But I'm afraid you'll
D/F# G
walk away when the
C
tears start runnin'
Em D/F# G C
But I hope not

Blame it on their

D
I an't that way
