Baby you look tired, baby you look beat
Seems like you’ve been working eight days a week
Baby take a break from all you been thinking of
And come into my cradle of love
Baby let me hold you and rock your cares away
Put aside your troubles at the ending of the day
C’ause when we lie together I fit you like a glove
Come into my my cradle of love
Down in the valley you can lose your name
All your sorrow and your pain
The dark, warm waters they can heal you
And make you all new brand new again
So baby come on over and lean your head on me
Here in my arms now is where you’re meant to be
Baby take advantage of all I’ve got to give
Come into my cradle of love
Down in the valley you can lose your name
Your sorrow and your pain
The dark, warm waters they can heal you
And make you all new brand new again
So baby come on over and lean your head on me
Come into my cradle of love
Baby let me your cradle of love
Come into my cradle of love

If I ran so far
That my life can’t follow me
Would it keep the world
>From up and swallowing me
There’s so much to weigh me down that I can’t hardly breathe
And I don’t want to think about it
But I don’t want this pain to last
And I I’m fading fast
If I didn’t look back
And I changed my name
Would I find my new life exactly the same
I’m looking at an empty future that I already blame
And I don’t want to think about it
But I don’t want this pain to last
And I I’m fading fast
I’ve put it all behind me
Just to have it one day find me
And now I’m just this far from gone

Solo

And so I’m leaving here on every cent that I could borrow
Lord only knows just where I’ll be tomorrow
And I don’t want to think about it
But I don’t want this pain to last
And I I’m fading
I don’t want to think about it
But I don’t want this pain to last
And I I’m fading fast
Yea I I’m fading fast

I don’t believe a word you’re saying
And I know the game you’re playing
So it’s only just for now
That I will let you take me down
You always manage to be low
So I don’t have a chance to go
And it’s just temporary now
That I will let you take me down
Pick me up on your way down
Don’t your feet ever touch the ground
You know they never make a sound
And if I should ever turn out right
Say my prayers most every night
Now wouldn’t that just be a sight
Now I aware I should know better
But I don’t when we’re together
I’ll forgive myself somehow
And I will let you take me down
I can’t hold on to myself
And hold on to somebody else
So if I hold on to you now
Then I will let you take me down
Pick me up on your way down
Don’t your feet ever touch the ground
You know they never make a sound
And if I should ever turn out right
Say my prayers most every night
Now wouldn’t that just be a sight

SOLO

Pick me up on your way down
Don’t your feet ever touch the ground
You know they never make a sound
And if I should ever turn out right
Say my prayers most every night
Now wouldn’t that just be a sight

Intro: D G A D

VERSE:

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

CHORUS:

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 sayin? somebody’s in
And you won’t come the cowboy with me

VERSE:

Don’t be too rough on my cold, cold heart
It’s all I’ve got left to me now
I fell out of favor 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

CHORUS:

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 sayin? somebody’s in
And you won’t come the cowboy with me

BREAK:

VERSE:

Did somebody tell you I’m lonely as hell?
I didn’t expect you to know me so well
If I’ve learned a lesson it’s how to bounce back again

Sometimes I bounce off the wall
And sometimes my head hits the floor

CHORUS:

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 sayin? 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 sayin? somebody’s in
And you won’t come the cowboy with me

END

Get real[A/D]
This ain’t the way we used to feel[A/D]
What we once earned we have to steel
Conceal it ain’t real[A/D]
Come on[A/D]
We’ve been defending for so long[A/D]
I don’t know who we’re trying to con
It’s gone so come on
Enough
We’re just pretending that it’s love
It’s a shame I don’t know who to blame
But I know enough
Get real[A/D]
It’s time we both put down our shields[A/D]
You see we both lost in this deal
Oh get real

It’s no good to lose heart
It’s no good to lose sight
It’s no good to have nowhere to go that feels right
You can trust me on that one
You sure shouldn’t try it
You sure shouldn’t let yourself get right inside it
If I could be you Id be happy with that
My regrets would be few and my future not black
Yea I could be happy with that
It’s no good to get numb
It’s no good to get tight
It’s no good to wake up and then find you’re alright
No you don’t get off easy
Well you can’t escape it
You wouldn’t believe just how long you can take it
If I could be you I’d be happy with that
My regrets would be few and my future not black
Yea I could be happy with that
Sometimes life can be hard when you
Give love and no one will take it

SOLO

If I could be you
I’d be happy with that
My regrets would be few and my future not black
For a minute or two walk in some other shoes
Yea I could be happy with that
