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"
