Great Song. The first verse and first chorus are usually picked. But you may pick
or strum anywhere in the song and it can sound good.
[Verse 1]
-------
G D/F#
Drop the bottle to the floor
Em
I can't live like this no more.
C
Tired of wondering, what might have been
D
and who I still could be.
G D/F#
Let the gun fall from my hand
Em
shattered glass I'll make a stand
C
Time don't care about no one.
[Chorus]
------
D G
I tried to be
D/F# Em
Butch Cassidy,
C
But I couldn't shoot the bullets
D
I couldn't take the pain.
G D/F# Em
I had the chance to ride with Sundance,
C D G
But I couldn't bare the thought of you alone, so I'm coming home.
[Verse 2]
-------
G D/F#
Locked the door and lost the key,
Em
you fell out of love with me.
C D
I can't blame you for moving on and never looking back.
G D/F# Em
Now I'm trying to make amends, and come to terms with how this ends.
C
What I'd give to do it all again.
[Chorus]
------
D G
I tried to be
D/F# Em
Butch Cassidy,
C
But I couldn't shoot the bullets
D
I couldn't take the pain.
G D/F# Em
I had the chance to ride with Sundance,
C D
But I couldn't bare the thought of you alone, so I'm coming home.
[Bridge]
------
Em D/F# C
Leaving everything behind me
Am D
All the lies and all the reckless roads I've paved.
Em D/F# C
It might take a while to find me,
Am D
but when I do, I know that I've been saved.
[Verse 3]
-------
G D/F#
I watched my life go up in flames
Em
Wondering if I've got a name.
C D
You remember who I was or who I'm supposed to be?
G D/F#
Bet it all on one last card.
Em
Those old habits stayed at home.
C
Win it all or lose it all.
[Chorus]
------
D G
I tried to be
D/F# Em
Butch Cassidy,
C
But I couldn't shoot the bullets,
D
I couldn't take the pain.
G D/F# Em
I had the chance to ride with Sundance,
C D
But I couldn't bare the thought of you alone...
[Outro]
-----
C D
No, I just couldn't bare the thought of you alone.
C D
No I couldn't bare the thought of you alone,
G D/F# Em C
So I'm coming home.
G D/F# Em C
I'm coming home.
D G
I'm coming home.
