                     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

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

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"
