[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ Well [B] I pulled out of Houston [F#] in a state of confusion
[G#m] Which way I [F#] should turn, I didn't know _ _ _ _ Dallas or Denver, Santa Fe or Surrender
[B] Just let this [F#] old rodeo [E] go _ [F#] _ _
[G#m] So I pulled over [E] and stopped on the shoulder
[B] and stared at that picture [F#] of her _ [E] _ _
[B] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
[E] _ _ Abilene _ _
[F#] _ _ _ keeps [E] calling _ me _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _
[G#m] And I've kept her waiting [G] while I've been out chasing [B] this living that I've [E] called a
dream _ And [C#m] my heart [B] is starting [E] to bleed _ [F#] towards _
[E] _ _ Abilene _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ And [B] my old truck is smoking and [F#] these old
bones are broken And [G#m] I've sold [F#] everything but [E] my soul
_ _ _ [B]
My heart's been dividing [F#] but I just decided my last ride will be the [E] right home
_ _ _ [G#m]
And my only hope is [E] her door is still open [B] the way it was when [F#] I left
_ [E] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ And _ _ _
[G#m] I've kept her waiting [G] while I've been out chasing [B] this living that I've [E] called a dream _ _ _
[C#m] And my heart [D#m] is starting [E] to _ [F#] bleed towards the brown hair a-blowing [B] and me happy knowing
[F#] And this is where I want to _ [B] be _ _
[E] _ Abilene _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _
And _ _ _ _ _
[G#m] I've kept her waiting [G] while I've been out chasing this [B] living that I've [E] called a dream
_ [F#] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [C#]
And my heart [B] is starting [E] to bleed _ [B] towards Abilene _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] Abilene
_ [G#m] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ Yeah [E] I am coming [G#m] home _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
