Recorded by Jason Michael Carroll
Intro.: || (C) | (C) | (C) | (C) || (C) | (C) (Em) (F) --
They were (C)sittin' on his tailgate, she was lovin' on his rough neck
She was (F)talkin' 'bout runnin' away while he was piffin' on a cigarette
And just (Am)thinkin',... (G) "How am I gonna say good-(F)bye"
He said, "(C)Girl, you got it good here, you don't need to mess with
A (F)guy goin' nowhere" she said, "How's about Texas?"
He got (Am)up and shook his head, then he said, "(G)Ain't you been listenin'
It's (F)never gonna work out, and I think it'd be a good time now
(Chorus)
To let me (C)go, you don't (F)need me, baby, stop holdin' (C)on the way you (F)are
Don't you (Am)know I'm no (Bm)good for you, and it'll (C)only (Em)break your (F)heart
If you don't let me (C)go" | (C) (Em) (F) --
He said, "(C)Other than a dreamer, I ain't nothin' but a drifter
You could (F)do a lot better" he leaned over and he kissed her
He said, "You got a-(Am)nother year of college and a good (G)mama and a daddy
And me, I got (F)ninety-three dollars and this old '82 Chevy
(Chorus)
So let me (C)go, you don't (F)need me, baby, stop holding (C)on the way you (F)are
Don't you (Am)know I'm no (Bm)good for you, and it'll (C)only (Em)break your (F)heart
If you don't let me (C)go"
(Bridge)
She said, "(Dm/A)Nice try, but you can't (Em)hide behind those shades there on your (F)face
See, I don't (Dm)think you're all that tough, I just (Em)think you're scared of love
And (F)I think I won't take up that much space
(Chorus)
So let me (C)go, take me (F)with you, baby, it's so (C)cold outside your (F)arms
And we both (Am)know that you're (Bm)not as strong (C)as you (Em)think you (F)are
(Tag)
So let me (C)go, (G)take me (F)with you, baby, I be-(C)long (G)where you (F)are
We both (Am)know I'm so (Bm)good for you
And it'll (C)only (Em)break your (F)heart down the road
If you don't let me (G)go (F) with you, (C)baby | (F) --
-- Let me | (C)Go | (F) | (C) | (F) (Em) (F) -----
