    Verse 1
    The 
    skies 
    were 
    pure 
    and 
    the 
    fields 
    were 
    green 

    The 
    sun 
    was 
    brighter 
    than 
    it's 
    ever 
    been 

    When 
    grew 
    up 
    with 
    my 
    best 
    friend, 
    Kenny 

    We 
    were 
    close 
    as 
    any 
    brothers 

    that 
    you 
    ever 
    knew 

    It 
    was 
    always 
    summer 
    and 
    the 
    future 
    called 

    We 
    were 
    ready 
    for 
    adventures 

    and 
    we 
    wanted 
    them 
    all 

    There 
    was 
    so 
    much 
    left 
    to 
    dream 

    And 
    so 
    much 
    time 
    to 
    make 
    it 
    real 

    But 
    can 
    still 
    recall 
    the 
    sting 

    of 
    all 
    the 
    tears 
    when 
    he 
    was 
    gone 

    They 
    say 
    he 
    crashed 
    and 
    burned, 

    know 
    I'll 
    never 
    learn 

    Why 
    any 
    boy 
    should 
    die 
    so 
    young 

    Pre-chorus 1
    We 
    were 
    racing, 
    we 
    were 
    soldiers 
    of 
    fortune 

    We 
    got 
    in 
    trouble 
    but 
    we 
    sure 
    got 
    a
    round 

    There 
    are 
    times 
    think 

    see 
    him 
    peeling 
    out 
    of 
    the 
    dark 

    think 
    he's 
    right 
    behind 
    me 
    now, 

    and 
    he's 
    gaining 
    ground 

    Chorus 1
    But 
    it 
    was 
    long 
    ago, 
    and 
    it 
    was 
    far 
    away 

    Oh 
    God, 
    it 
    seems 
    so 
    very 
    far 

    And 
    if 
    life 
    is 
    just 
    highway, 

    then 
    the 
    soul 
    is 
    just 
    car 

    And 
    objects 
    in 
    the 
    rear 
    view 
    mirror 

    may 
    appear 
    closer 
    than 
    they 
    are 

    And 
    objects 
    in 
    the 
    rear 
    view 
    mirror 

    may 
    appear 
    closer 
    than 
    they 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    And 
    when 
    the 
    sun 
    descended 

    and 
    the 
    night 
    arose 

    heard 
    my 
    father 
    cursing 
    every
    one 
    he 
    knows 

    He 
    was 
    dangerous 
    and 
    drunk 
    and 
    de
    feated 

    And 
    corroded 
    by 
    failure 
    and 
    envy 
    and 
    hate 

    There 
    were 
    endless 
    winters 

    and 
    the 
    dreams 
    would 
    freeze 

    Nowhere 
    to 
    hide 
    and 
    no 
    leaves 
    on 
    the 
    trees 

    And 
    my 
    father's 
    eyes 
    were 
    blank 

    As 
    he 
    hit 
    me 
    a
    gain 
    and 
    again 
    and 
    a
    gain 

    know 
    still 
    believe 
    he'd 
    never 
    let 
    me 
    leave 

    had 
    to 
    run 
    away 
    a
    lone 

    So 
    many 
    threats 
    and 
    fears, 

    so 
    many 
    wasted 
    years 

    Before 
    my 
    life 
    became 
    my 
    own 

    Pre-chorus 2
    And 
    though 
    the 
    nightmares 
    should 
    be 
    over 

    Some 
    of 
    the 
    terrors 
    are 
    still 
    in
    tact 

    I'll 
    hear 
    that 
    ugly, 
    coarse, 
    and 
    violent 
    voice 

    And 
    then 
    he 
    grabs 
    me 
    from 
    be
    hind, 

    and 
    then 
    he 
    pulls 
    me 
    back 

    Chorus 2
    But 
    it 
    was 
    long 
    ago, 
    and 
    it 
    was 
    far 
    away 

    Oh 
    God, 
    it 
    seems 
    so 
    very 
    far 

    And 
    if 
    life 
    is 
    just 
    highway, 

    then 
    the 
    soul 
    is 
    just

    And

    Interlude 3


    Verse 3
    There 
    was 
    beauty 
    living 
    on 
    the 
    edge 
    of 
    town 

    She 
    always 
    put 
    the 
    top 
    up 

    and 
    the 
    hammer 
    down 

    And 
    she 
    taught 
    me 
    everything 
    I'll 
    ever 
    know 

    About 
    the 
    mystery 
    and 
    the 
    muscle 
    of 
    love 

    Those 
    were 
    the 
    rites 
    of 
    spring 

    and 
    we 
    did 
    everything 

    There 
    was 
    sal
    vation 
    every 
    night 

    We 
    got 
    our 
    dreams 
    reborn 

    and 
    our 
    up
    holstery 
    torn 

    But 
    every
    thing 
    we 
    tried 
    was 
    right 

    Pre-chorus 3
    She 
    used 
    her 
    body 
    just 
    like 
    bandage 

    She 
    used 
    my 
    body 
    just 
    like 
    wound 

    I'll 
    probably 
    never 
    know 

    where 
    she 
    disappeared 

    But 
    can 
    see 
    her 
    rising 
    up 

    out 
    of 
    the 
    back 
    seat 
    now 

    Just 
    like 
    an 
    angel 
    rising 
    up 
    from 
    tomb 

    Chorus 3
    But 
    it 
    was 
    long 
    ago, 
    and 
    it 
    was 
    far 
    away 

    Oh 
    God, 
    it 
    seems 
    so 
    very 
    far 

    And 
    if 
    life 
    is 
    just 
    highway, 

    then 
    the 
    soul 
    is 
    just 
    car 

    And 
    objects 
    in 
    the 
    rear 
    view 
    mirror 

    may 
    appear 
    closer 
    than 
    they 
    are 

    And 
    objects 
    in 
    the 
    rear 
    view 
    mirror 

    may 
    appear 
    closer

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
