Capo 4

I [G]pulled to the side of the [D]Interstate
[C]I just couldn't go [G]on
I'd been [G]chasing the morning like [D]some young fool
[C]Living out an old [G]song
[C]How on earth could I [G]lose you like this
[C]Now you're with heaven knows [G]who
And I'm [C]halfway to Georgia with a
[D]Carful of mem'ries of [G]you

Chorus:
I let a keeper get a[Em]way[D]
How [C]could I been so [G]blind
I let a keeper get a[Em]way [D]
There's [C]only one one of a [G]kind
I [Em]didn't know just[D] what we had
But [C]this time I really [G]messed up [D]bad
Now I guess I gotta [Em]pay[D]
[C]I let a keeper get [G]away

Found a picture of us underneath my seat
Looking for my red flashlight
It was taken last summer at your momma's place
Holding each other real tight
I just don't need reminders like that
Clutterin' up my heart
So I'll just put it in my pocket
And put it right next to my heart

Chorus

Lead

I didn't know just what we had
But this time I really messed up bad
Now I guess I gotta pay
I let a keeper get away
