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
