            WEST TEXAS
           GREYSON CHANCE

CAPO: 1st FRET

INTRO:
G+G  C majorC  Dm7Dm7  C majorC


VERSE:
        G+G               C majorC
I can see the sky for miles, I can see that time so clear
     Dm7Dm7               C majorC
When you told me "forever" was a word that I should not fear
        G+G               C majorC
I can see you driving and smoking, Virginia Slims on the dash
    Dm7Dm7                C majorC
On that day I was crying, you stopped the car, looked back

You said

CHORUS:
 G+G             C majorC
"Boy, get the message, this ain`t no New York City
     Dm7Dm7         C majorC
Born and bred in West Texas, raised you to be different
  G+G           C majorC
No matter how it ends, no matter all your sin
        Dm7Dm7
I hope you will understand
     C majorC             G+G  G+G
When I leave, you better be a good man"


VERSE:
        G+G            C majorC
I can see that house in the summer, baseball in the yard
       Dm7Dm7              C majorC
And when my knees got bloody, you told me keep playing hard
      G+G            C majorC
I remember mass on Sundays, collared up to the ten
     Dm7Dm7              C majorC
You were so damn faithful, even if it all was a mess
        G+G
And in those years that we weren`t speaking
       C majorC
When I was drinking for some meaning
   Dm7Dm7                 C majorC
You called me on the phone and then you said, hey

CHORUS:
 G+G             C majorC
"Boy, get the message, this ain`t no New York City
     Dm7Dm7         C majorC
Born and bred in West Texas, raised you to be different
  G+G           C majorC
No matter how it ends, no matter all your sin
        Dm7Dm7
I hope you will understand
     C majorC             G+G   G+G  C majorC  Dm7Dm7  C majorC
When I leave, you better be a good man"
            G+G  C majorC  Dm7Dm7  C majorC
"You better be a good man"


BREAK
     G+G      E minorEm       C majorC
And it`s so hard to imagine what I`ll do without you here
    G+G           E minorEm        C majorC
As you gaze your eyes towards mine, tell me to wipe away those tears
     G+G                E minor 7Em7
You say Jesus loves you, always will, no matter what you did
       Am7Am7   C majorC
And in that moment, I`m a kid again

You said


CHORUS:
 G+G             C majorC
"Boy, get the message, this ain`t no New York City
     Dm7Dm7         C majorC
Born and bred in West Texas, raised you to be different
  G+G           C majorC
No matter how it ends, no matter all your sin
        Dm7Dm7
I hope you will understand
     C majorC             G+G  C majorC Dm7Dm7 C majorC
When I leave, you better be a good man"

 C majorC          G+G  G+G C majorC Dm7Dm7 C majorC
"You better be a good man"
