            WEST TEXAS
           GREYSON CHANCE

CAPO: 1st FRET

INTRO:
G  C  Dm7  C


VERSE:
        G               C
I can see the sky for miles, I can see that time so clear
     Dm7               C
When you told me "forever" was a word that I should not fear
        G               C
I can see you driving and smoking, Virginia Slims on the dash
    Dm7                C
On that day I was crying, you stopped the car, looked back

You said


CHORUS:
 G             C
"Boy, get the message, this ain`t no New York City
     Dm7         C
Born and bred in West Texas, raised you to be different
  G           C
No matter how it ends, no matter all your sin
        Dm7
I hope you will understand
     C             G  G
When I leave, you better be a good man"


VERSE:
        G            C
I can see that house in the summer, baseball in the yard
       Dm7              C
And when my knees got bloody, you told me keep playing hard
      G            C
I remember mass on Sundays, collared up to the ten
     Dm7              C
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
   Dm7                 C
You called me on the phone and then you said, hey


CHORUS:
 G             C
"Boy, get the message, this ain`t no New York City
     Dm7         C
Born and bred in West Texas, raised you to be different
  G           C
No matter how it ends, no matter all your sin
        Dm7
I hope you will understand
     C             G   G  C  Dm7  C
When I leave, you better be a good man"
            G  C  Dm7  C
"You better be a good man"


BREAK
     G      Em       C
And it`s so hard to imagine what I`ll do without you here
    G           Em        C
As you gaze your eyes towards mine, tell me to wipe away those tears
     G                Em7
You say Jesus loves you, always will, no matter what you did
       Am7   C
And in that moment, I`m a kid again

You said


CHORUS:
 G             C
"Boy, get the message, this ain`t no New York City
     Dm7         C
Born and bred in West Texas, raised you to be different
  G           C
No matter how it ends, no matter all your sin
        Dm7
I hope you will understand
     C             G  C Dm7 C
When I leave, you better be a good man"

 C          G  G C Dm7 C
"You better be a good man"
