C                Em         F
I know that it's late and I shouldn't 
     G9
have phoned 
      C             Em           F
But I just couldn't wait are you there 
    G
all alone 
   C        Em                  F
No I didn't mean that it's just one of
      G9 
those days 
       C              Em            F
But if you've got the time I've got  
    G        C
something to say 
C               Em             F
I know that you think I'm some famous
      G9 
motel cowboy 
         C            Em           F
With his spurs in the side of some fast
       G 
fading dream 
    C                         F
And I won't Em deny there's a fire still in
G9 
side me 
        C              Em           F 
But I'm thinking about chasing some far
G      C 
better dream 
 
Chorus: 
    Am G9           F            C 
And I know what you want and you need 
    Am       G9        F
And I'm just asking if you could believe 
 

                           C      F 
That I can try, baby I can try

Am                            G
 It's hard to speak with this swallowed pride 

I'm choking down 
   F                     G 
If you wouldn't mind I'd like to come around 
C           Em             F        G9 
You say the word I'll blow right by 

Cheyenne 
     C          Em         F         G 
I'll forfeit my fee and be home in a  

day 
       C         Em           F 
If the answer is no well I'll prob'ly 
        G9
keep on trying 
      C                           F    G
Cause you know my Em mind when it gets  
         C
set this way 
    Am G             F            C
And I  know what you want and you need 
    Am       G         F
And I'm just asking if you could believe  
                             C
That I will try; baby I will try 
       F                C
We can try, baby we can try

C             Em                 F 
Don't want to ride that lonesome highway
   G 
anymore
