[Intro]
Em D/F# G  Em D/F# G
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em                   D     G
Started as a picture on my dashboard
Em                       G
Never pictured what it'd turn into
    Em
I'd never given up
D     G                Bm          C
But I guess I'm giving up because of you
Em                       D        G
Something in my says I'm starting over
Em                        C
Something in me saying I ain't through
 
 
[Chorus]
       C
Once a mustang on the run
D     Em                    D
Tryna beat that setting sun
    G                                  C
The highway calls for some but not for me
C
Once a bullet in a barrel
D        Em
Straying from that straight and narrow
D     G                                C
Now a whisper on the wind, boy, let it be
C
It's a heartbeat, it's a breath
       D                Bm         Em      G
It's a new life and the death of a cowboy
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em                             G
Now that I know I got you home waiting
       Em                   G
Honey, how am I supposed to ride away?
  Em
I found my missing piece
D        G                            C
So thеre ain't nothing left for me to chasе
C
You're my resting place
 
 
[Chorus]
       C
Once a mustang on the run
D     Em                    D
Tryna beat that setting sun
    G                                  C
The highway calls for some but not for me
C
Once a bullet in a barrel
D        Em
Straying from that straight and narrow
D     G                                C
Now a whisper on the wind, boy, let it be
C
It's a heartbeat, it's a breath
       D                Bm         C      D Em
It's a new life and the death of a cowboy

It's a heartbeat, it's a breath

It's a new life and the death
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
       C
Once a mustang on the run
D     Em                    D
Tryna beat that setting sun
    G                                  C
The highway calls for some but not for me
C
Once a bullet in a barrel
D        Em
Straying from that straight and narrow
D     G                                C
Now a whisper on the wind, boy, let it be
C
It's a heartbeat, it's a breath
       D                Bm    N.C.
It's a new life and the death of a cowboy
