Intro

 She turned 21 in April,

You know her birthday's the same as mine

 When we first met she'd never left Texas

 She was young and so confused

 She got caught up in the bright lights

 The whiskey, pills and all those late nights

 From the mountain where we standing,

She fell so far that she could not see

 And I was angry when I woke up

 When I found out that we broke up

 She packed her bags, she was gone before the sun

 She left a letter on the table,

 Said catch me if you're able

 But I'll be moving fast and I'm still hard to find

 So I wont call you and I wont follow

 Cause the truth is hard to swallow

 Said I'd pick you up, but I'd only let you down.

 Heard from a friend you moved 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

 It'd be strange for me to see you

 You know there's so much left unsaid

 Said I'd pick you up but I'd only let you down

(Solo) -- Chorus Chord Progression

 Wrote you a letter while in Corpus

 It took everything I had

 Went down to the pier and looked out across that bay

 Took that letter then I watched it burn away

(Chorus)

 Said I'd pick you up but I'd only let you down
