VERSE:
               GG                             CC
I can see the sky for miles, I can see that time so clear

          AmAm                               CC
When you told me "forever" was a word that I should not fear

                GG                             CC
I can see you driving and smoking, Virginia Slims on the dash

        AmAm                                 CC
On that day I was crying, you stopped the car, looked back


You said


CHORUS:
  GG                          CC
"Boy, get the message, this ain`t no New York City

          AmAm                   CC
Born and bred in West Texas, raised you to be different

    GG                      CC
No matter how it ends, no matter all your sin

                AmAm
I hope you will understand

         CC                          GG      GG
When I leave, you better be a good man"

VERSE:
                GG                        CC
I can see that house in the summer, baseball in the yard

             Am7Am7                           CC
And when my knees got bloody, you told me keep playing hard

            GG                        CC
I remember mass on Sundays, collared up to the ten

        Am7Am7                            CC
You were so damn faithful, even if it all was a mess

               GG
And in those years that we weren`t speaking

             CC
When I was drinking for some meaning

     Am7Am7                                 CC
You called me on the phone and then you said, hey



CHORUS:
  GG                          CC
"Boy, get the message, this ain`t no New York City

          AmAm                  CC
Born and bred in West Texas, raised you to be different

    GG                      CC
No matter how it ends, no matter all your sin

                AmAm
I hope you will understand

         CC                          GG     GG   CC   Am7Am7   CC
When I leave, you better be a good man"

                       GG    CC   Am7Am7   CC
"You better be a good man"



BREAK:
         EmEm                           CC
And it`s so hard to imagine what I`ll do without you here

        GG                                       CC
As you gaze your eyes towards mine, tell me to wipe away those tears

         GG                                EmEm
You say Jesus loves you, always will, no matter what you did

             CC                  GG
And in that moment, I`m a kid again


You said


CHORUS:
  GG                          CC
"Boy, get the message, this ain`t no New York City

         Am7Am7                  CC
Born and bred in West Texas, raised you to be different

    GG                      CC
No matter how it ends, no matter all your sin

                AmAm
I hope you will understand

         CC                          GG    CC   Am7Am7   CC
When I leave, you better be a good man"

  CC                    GG      GG   CC   AmAm   CC
"You better be a good man"
