Intro:
G D C (X2)
Verse:
Am C
She turned 21 in April
Am G
You know her birthday's the same as mine
Am C
When we first met she'd never left Texas
Am G
She was young and so confused
Am C
She got caught up in the bright lights
Am G
The whiskey, pills, and all those late nights
Am C
And from the mountain where we were standing
Am D
She fell so far she could not see
Chorus:
G D
That I was angry when I woke up
C
When I found out that we broke up
G D C
She packed her bags, she was gone before the sun
G D
She left a letter on the table
C
Said catch me if you're able
G D C
But I'll be moving fast and I'm still hard to find
Am
So I wont call you and I wont follow
C/B
Cause the truth is hard to swallow
C D G
Said I'd pick you up, but I'd only let you down
Heard from a friend you went back to Corpus
You always loved that ocean air
I know that you know that I'm headed down that way
Dont worry cause I wont call
And it'd be strange for me to see you
You know there's so much left unsaid
Chorus
C D Em
Said I'd pick you up, but I'd only let you down
Solo (Chorus Chords)
I wrote you a letter while in Corpus
And it took everything I had
Went down to the pier
And looked out across that bay
I took that letter, then I watched it burn away
Chorus
C D Em
Said I'd pick you up, but I'd only let you down
