G D C (X2)
Verse:
[Am]She turned 21 in [C]April
[Am]You know her birthday's the same as [G]mine
[Am]When we first met she'd never left [C]Texas
[Am]She was young and so [G]confused
[Am]She got caught up in the [C]bright lights
[Am]The whiskey, pills, and all those [G]late nights
[Am]And from the mountain where we were [C]standing
[Am]She fell so far she could not [D]see
Chorus:
That I was [G]angry when I [D]woke up
When I [C]found out that we broke up
She [G]packed her bags, she was [D]gone before the [C]sun
She left a [G]letter on the [D]table
Said [C]catch me if you're able
But I'll be [G]moving fast and [D]I'm still hard to [C]find
So I wont [Am]call you and I wont follow
Cause the [C/B]truth is hard to swallow
Said I'd [C]pick you up, but I'd [D]only let you d[G]own
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
Said I'd [C]pick you up, but I'd [D]only let you [Em]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
Said I'd [C]pick you up, but I'd [D]only let you [Em]down
