* strum once
[Verse 1]
C*
I need to ride up through the planes of Texas, far as the eye can see
C*
I need to make a million dollars, play the slots and make it three
F*
I got this cowboy in my bones
C
And I gotta let him free
C
I need to fight the man who doesn't understand to leave me be
C
Look him eye to eye, defend my name 'til he's picking up his teeth
F
I ain't a man if I can't stand tall
C
On my own two feet
[Pre-Chorus]
G
Well, if I ain't rustling feathers
F C
Then I ain't worth being remembered when I leave
G
If you got good, then make it better
F C
Keep the law but don't you ever bend the knee
[Chorus]
F
I was wrong
C
Ooh-ooh, I was wrong
G
You have my heart, I have yours
F
And it's all that I need and more
C
Oh, I was wrong
[Post-Chorus]
G F C
(Hmm, hmm-mm-mm, hmm-mm, hmm)
G F C
(Mm-mm, hmm, hmm, mm)
[Verse 2]
C
I need to catch the eyes of pretty girls I'm passing on the street
C
With a rugged smile, a tattooed arm, and a working man's physique
F
Kill the cow and eat it raw
C
And take my liquor neat
C
I need to build myself a castle in the scorching August heat
C
Use the hands I proudly calloused out there pouring that concrete
F
Ain't no time for taking it slow
C
If I'm the hand that feeds
[Pre-Chorus]
G
Ain't much luck from modest bettors
F C
Once you die, you can't get deader, play for keeps
G
Burn the steel and press your leather
F C
Never tied up in the debtor's chain and key
[Chorus]
F
I was wrong
C
Ooh-ooh, I was wrong
G
You have my heart, I have yours
F
And it's all that I need and more
C
Oh, I was wrong
F
I was wrong
C
Oh-oh-ooh, I was wrong
G
You have my heart, I have yours
F
And it's all that I need and more
Am
Oh, I was wrong
[Instrumental Break]

F
I was wrong
C
Ooh-ooh, I was wrong

You have my heart, I have yours
