I Let A Keeper Get Away

Capo 4
G D
I pulled to the side of the Interstate
C G
I just couldn't go on
G D
I'd been chasing the morning like some young fool
C G
Living out an old song
C G
How on earth could I lose you like this
C G
Now you're with heaven knows who
C
And I'm halfway to Georgia with a
D G
Carful of mem'ries of you
Chorus:
Em D
I let a keeper get away
C G
How could I been so blind
Em D
I let a keeper get away
C G
There's only one one of a kind
Em D
I didn't know just what we had
C G D
But this time I really messed up bad
Em D
Now I guess I gotta pay
C G
I let a keeper get 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
