C
I have been restless
            C/E
I have been reckless
              F
I've been a strain on my mommas heart

              C
I've been a drunk
              C/E
I've been a dreamer
            F
Pulling the strings on this old guitar

                   C
Ive found a few answers
                   C/E
But I've still got questions
          F                  G
Kept it together and fallen apart

[Chorus]
      Am
I got secrets and stories
G
Old shoebox memories
    F
And choices that I'd like to change

Am
Teardrops and laughter
    G
And me chasing after
F
Years that go as quick as they came

                  C   G F
Like a west Texas rain
                  C   G F
Like a west Texas rain

[Verse]
                 C
Well I've been a lover
            C/E
I've been a father
            F
I've been a brother
                G
And I've been a son

                 C
Well I've been a preacher
            C/E
I've been a sinner
           F
If you can name it
                   G
I've probably been one

                   C
I'm strong for the struggle
           C/E
Constantly reaching
             F                         G
Reaching for something that I've never done

[Chorus]
          Am
And I got secrets and stories
G
Old shoebox memories
F
Choices that I'd like to change

      Am
I got teardrops and laughter
    G
And me chasing after
F
Years that go as quick as they came

                  C   G F
Like a west Texas rain
                  C   G F
Like a west Texas rain

G Am F G Am F G

              Am
So close your eyes and hold on
      G
We're here and we're gone
        C
It goes as quick as it came
                 C           G F
Just like a west Texas rain
                 C           G F
Just like a west Texas rain
                 C           G F
Just like a west Texas rain
                 C           G F
Just like a west Texas rain
