, ,  x2
 You could say  I’ve reached that time  I know my trade
 And that I know  how to care for my  guitar and I know  how to get up late
 Comfortable  when I sleep  on the floor
 I’ve played a fair  few shows and I’m gonna  play more
 And all along  the while I was just trying  to make people  smile
 I play cowboy  chords
 These air  conditioned  words
 About longing  for the  prairie and  living in the suburbs
 I sing simple  songs
 About rights  and wrongs
 About finding  that trail  that leads  away from everyone
 And darling  I know I do  not give you  much
 I get hungry  for a wondering  and then I don’t  come back for months
 And I keep  your picture by  my side
 It’s in  my wallet, it’s on  my mind
 Every song I know,  contains a whisper  of your soul
 I play cowboy  chords
 These air  conditioned  words
 About longing  for the  prairie and  living in the suburbs
 I sing simple  songs
 About rights  and wrongs
 About finding  that trail  that leads  away from everyone
 And so my days  slip away  all the same
 Rolling wheels,  hotels rooms  and going grey
 Casting glances  over my shoulder  as I go
 Tying knots  and dwell on things  I do not know
 I know my trade  out on these boards  with cowboy chords
 I know my trade  out on these boards  with cowboy chords
 I know my trade  out on these boards  with cowboy chords
 I know my trade  out on these boards  with cowboy chords

You could s[G]ay I’ve reached that t[F]ime I know my tr[C]ade
And that I k[G]now how to care for [F]my guitar and I k[C]now how to get up late
Com[Am]fortable when I sl[Em]eep on the floor
I’ve played a fa[F]ir few shows and I’m g[C]onna play more
And all a[G]long the while I was just tr[F]ying to make people[C] smile

I play [C]cowb[G]oy ch[F]ords
These a[C]ir co[G]nditioned[F] words
About [C]longing for the[G] prairie and[F] living in the [G]suburbs
I sing s[C]imp[G]le s[F]ongs
About r[C]ights a[G]nd [F]wrongs
About [C]finding that tr[G]ail that le[F]ads away from e[G]veryone

[F]  [G]  [C]

And da[G]rling I know I [F]do not give you[C] much
I get hu[G]ngry for a wond[F]ering and then I [C]don’t come back for months
And I k[Am]eep your picture [Em]by my side
It’s i[F]n my wallet, it’s [C]on my mind
Every song I [G]know, contains a w[F]hisper of your soul

I play [C]cowb[G]oy ch[F]ords
These a[C]ir co[G]nditioned[F] words
About [C]longing for the[G] prairie and[F] living in the [G]suburbs
I sing s[C]imp[G]le s[F]ongs
About r[C]ights a[G]nd [F]wrongs
About [C]finding that tr[G]ail that le[F]ads away from [G]everyone

[F]  [G]  [C]

And so my d[F]ays slip a[G]way all the sa[C]me
Rolling w[F]heels, hotels ro[G]oms and going [C]grey
Casting g[F]lances over my sho[G]ulder as I [C]go
Tying knot[F]s and dwell on t[G]hings I do not k[C]now

I know my tr[G]ade out on these b[F]oards with cowboy c[C]hords
I know my t[G]rade out on these bo[F]ards with cowboy c[C]hords
I know my t[G]rade out on these bo[F]ards with cowboy [C]chords
I know my t[G]rade out on these bo[F]ards with cowboy cho[C]rds
