Start Jamming...
[G]
[Em] [G] [C] I almost hate to sing this song out here.
[D] [Em]
[D] [C] [G] I just want to say thank you all you guys and girls up here [C] tonight.
Thank you all for coming and [G] making this such a special evening for me.
[C] You just don't even know.
I appreciate it so much.
Thank you.
And all of you people [D] out there, thank you so much for all the years of support that you've [G] given me and the guys.
As Arnold Schwarzenegger says, I'll be [C] back.
Thank [D] you so much.
[G]
I knew the stakes were high right from the [C] start
[D] When she dealt the cards I bet [Am] my [G] life
Now I just found a game that I can't [C] win
And [D] this is where the cow [Am] [G] away
[Em] [D] [G] And my heart is sinking like a sail
[C]
Setting [D]
on the things I wish [G] I'd done
Time to say goodbye to [C] yesterday
[D] [C] And [D]
I won't [G] cry today
We've
[C]
[D] [G]
[D] [G]
been in and out of love and in [C] love
[D] And now we play the final [G] showdowns
And as the credits roll, the sad song starts to [C] bloom
[D] This [G] is where [D] the trouble lies [G] away
And my heart is sinking like a sail
[C] Setting
[D]
on the things I wish [Am] I'd [G] done
Oh, the last goodbyes, the heartache [C] once
This [D] is where the cowboy [G] rides away
Oh, the last goodbyes, the heartache's one to [C] say
This [D] is where the cowboy rides [G] away
Thank you very much everybody.
Hey, [D] [G]
[D] [G] thank [C] you.
