Beaumont     Hayes Carll     Capo 3
                C                        Am
I saw you leaning on a memory, with your back turned to the crowd
            F                             G
In that little bar on Murphy, where they play guitar too loud
There were people drinking whiskey, there were hearts about to leave
It was cold as hell for Houston, it was almost New Year?s Eve

F                                  G
All the way from Beaumont, with a white rose in my hand
      C          Am             F         G    C             
I could not wait forever babe I hope you understand

The night was feeling lucky, so I asked you to dance
And the way you looked up at me, made me think I had a chance
But when I put my arms around you, I knew you weren?t giving in
I hope it will be different if I pass this way again
All the way from Beaumont?..

I walked the road to get here, with a guitar and a case
I?d of stopped in Pasadena, if I?d known about this place 
But you looked like forever, where the water meets the shore
I?ve been thinking ?bout you baby, I can?t do that anymore

I saw you leaning??
