I Get The Picture
By Keith Whitley

Capo 2
D
The moving van is waitin' for the rain to stop
G G/F# Em
Your agent put a sign up in the yard
A
I wondered was there anything that you'd forgot
G A
I guess that goodbye's got to be this hard
D
One last look around the rooms that we shared
G G/F# Em
I knew I couldn't stay here by myself
C C/B A
I saw a box and wondered why you'd left it out
G A
Right there on the bedroom closet shelf
D
Faded yellow photos of a boy and girl
G G/F# Em
Smiling in the blazing Texas sun
A
It must have been the year before your daddy died
G A
He tried to warn me then this day would come
Chorus:
D G A
I get the picture though the love has gone away
D G A
I get the picture though your memory will fade
D
I get the picture.
Change key to D#
Wasn't that the guy you told me you forgot
Oh what's his name who never made you laugh
But I never made you smile the way you're smilin' here
By his side in this faded photograph.
Last night when I met you at your lawyer's house
I wondered 'bout the guy who dropped you off
Guess I'd prob'ly never placed this smiling face
If you hadn't left behind this box.
Chorus
I get the picture...
