Verse 1:
      Bb              Dm                 Cm
Every cowgirl wants a cowboy to call her own
              F
You think you found one, honey
    Bb               Dm                    Cm
And he's dead set on setting this thing in stone
       F                   Eb
With a house in the countryside
                Dm
You're thinking twice
                Cm
Here's a little I've been there advice

Chorus:
  Bb              Dm              Cm               F
Before you saddle up with him and ride off in that sunset
Bb           Dm                     Cm                 F
It's okay to pull them reins if you can't say he's the one yet
      Gm                 F
Ain't nothing wrong with dreaming on
      Eb                  C
'bout rings and swings on porches
           Cm                F
Before you let him hold your heart
          Bb     Dm  Cm  F
Hold your horses

Verse 2:
Bb               Dm       Cm
He might be your last rodeo
        F
Just as gold as a buckle
   Bb            Dm           Cm
Or nothing but a dog and pony show
       F
So you better be double
Gm                       F
Sure that he's tried and true
               Eb                  Cm
And he's worth hitching your wagon to

Chorus:
  Bb              Dm              Cm               F
Before you saddle up with him and ride off in that sunset

'bout rings and swings on porches
           Cm                F
Before you let him hold your heart
          Bb
Hold your horses

Take a breath, take a walk

You and God have a good, long talk
             Cm7              Bb
Till there's no doubt in your mind
          Ebm
'Cause forever is a real long time
