West Texas Rain

	  		Intro

Verse 
            C 
I have been restless 
            C/E 
I have been reckless 
              F 
I've been a strain on my mommas heart 

              C 
I've been a drunk 
              C/E 
I've been a dreamer 
            F 
Pulling the strings on this old guitar 

                   C 
Ive found a few answers 
                   C/E 
But I've still got questions 
          F                  G 
Kept it together and fallen apart 

Chorus 
      Am 
I got secrets and stories 
G 
Old shoebox memories 
    F 
And choices that I'd like to change 

Am 
Teardrops and laughter 
    G 
And me chasing after 
F 
Years that go as quick as they came 

                  C   G F 
Like a west Texas rain 
                  C   G F 
Like a west Texas rain

Well I've been a lover 
            C/E 
I've been a father 
            F 
I've been a brother 
                G 
And I've been a son 

                 C 
Well I've been a preacher 
            C/E 
I've been a sinner 
           F 
If you can name it 
                   G 
I've probably been one 

                   C 
I'm strong for the struggle 
           C/E 
Constantly reaching 
             F                         G 
Reaching for something that I've never done 

Chorus 
          Am 
And I got secrets and stories 
G 
Old shoebox memories 
F 
Choices that I'd like to change 

      Am 
I got teardrops and laughter 
    G 
And me chasing after

Years that go as quick as they came
