WEST TEXAS
GD YSON CHANCE
CAPO: 1st FD T
INTRO:
GCDm7C
VERSE:
GC
I can see the sky for miles, I can see that time so clear
Dm7C
When you told me "forever" was a word that I should not fear
GC
I can see you driving and smoking, Virginia Slims on the dash
Dm7C
On that day I was crying, you stopped the car, looked back
You said
CHORUS:
GC
"Boy, get the message, this ain't no New York City
Dm7C
Born and bred in West Texas, raised you to be different
GC
No matter how it ends, no matter all your sin
Dm7
I hope you will understand
CGG
When I leave, you better be a good man"
VERSE:
GC
I can see that house in the summer, baseball in the yard
Dm7C
And when my knees got bloody, you told me keep playing hard
GC
I remember mass on Sundays, collared up to the ten
Dm7C
You were so damn faithful, even if it all was a mess
G
And in those years that we weren't speaking
C
When I was drinking for some meaning
Dm7C
You called me on the phone and then you said, hey
CHORUS:
GC
"Boy, get the message, this ain't no New York City
Dm7C
Born and bred in West Texas, raised you to be different
GC
No matter how it ends, no matter all your sin
Dm7
I hope you will understand
CGGCDm7C
When I leave, you better be a good man"
GCDm7C
"You better be a good man"
BDA K
GEmC
And it's so hard to imagine what I'll do without you here
GEmC
As you gaze your eyes towards mine, tell me to wipe away those tears
GEm7
You say Jesus loves you, always will, no matter what you did
Am7C
And in that moment, I'm a kid again
You said
CHORUS:
GC
"Boy, get the message, this ain't no New York City
Dm7C
Born and bred in West Texas, raised you to be different
GC
No matter how it ends, no matter all your sin
Dm7
I hope you will understand
CGCDm7C
When I leave, you better be a good man"
CGGCDm7C
"You better be a good man"
