[Verso 1]


D 
Met her in a bar 
    G       A           D 
Oh, how I remember that day 
D 
Beer was flowing off tap 
              G        A         D 
And I was the drunkest there I'd say 
D                       G                D 
Pretty little woman who left me high and dry 
    D                              G     A        D 
Who took my ass home because I was in no state to drive 


[Verso 2]


D 
Back at her place 
  G       A          D 
I found a six string there 
D 
She said, do you play 
        G    A      D 
I said, only if you care 
   D                              G                 D 
We played all damn night until we found the morning sun 
D                                 G         A       D 
She went off to work and I almost died from all the rum

    G                      A 
But if I was a dreamer and little bit better with words 
           Bm                             D 
I wouldn't be running away from that damn girl 
    G                            A 
And if I weren't a cowboy then I probably would've stayed 
          Bm              A               G 
But these roads here look so damn good to me 
G   G 
    Nearly meant to be

[Verso 3]


D 
Met her back at school 
  G            A       D 
I thought that she was great 
D 
Every time I talked to her 
          G     A          D 
She had a smile across her face 
D                    G         D 
Dunno why, why she'd ever love me so 
    D                       G      A       D 
But just of being country I had to let her go 


[Verso 4]


D 
Days rolled into night 
       G           A          D 
And my heart still thought of her 
D 
Never gonna forgive myself 
    G      A      D 
For what I did to her 
      D                               G               D 
She's nearly married now, I shouldn't have to feel so bad 
      D                             G         A     D 
She's got that same damn smile, the same damn one I had

[Verso 5]


D 
I have made mistakes 
    G        A     D 
I'm sure that we all have 
D 
One day I'll feel 
           G      A      D 
What those married men have 
  D                          G                D 
A white picket fence and some kids left for the loving 
  D                                 G       A         D 
A letter to those special girls who made me feel like something
