    Verse 1
    C
    Dm

    The skies were pure and the fields were green
    Em
    F

    The sun was brighter than it's ever been
    Am
    Em

    When I grew up with my best friend, Kenny
    F

    We were close as any brothers
    G

    that you ever knew
    C
    Dm

    It was always summer and the future called
    Em

    We were ready for adventures
    F

    and we wanted them all
    Am
    Em

    There was so much left to dream
    F
    G

    And so much time to make it real
    Am
    Em

    But I can still recall the sting
    F
    G

    of all the tears when he was gone
    Am

    They say he crashed and burned,
    Em

    I know I'll never learn
    F
    G

    Why any boy should die so young
    Pre-chorus 1
    Dm
    G

    We were racing, we were soldiers of fortune
    Am
    F

    We got in trouble but we sure got around
    Dm

    There are times I think
    G

    I see him peeling out of the dark
    Am
    G

    I think he's right behind me now,
    F

    and he's gaining ground
    Chorus 1
    Em
    Am

    But it was long ago, and it was far away
    F
    G

    Oh God, it seems so very far
    Em
    Am

    And if life is just a highway,
    F
    G

    then the soul is just a car
    C
    Dm

    And objects in the rear view mirror
    Em
    F
    C

    may appear closer than they are
    Dm

    And objects in the rear view mirror
    Em
    F

    may appear closer than they

    C
    Dm
    Em
    F

    (are) They are
    Verse 2
    C

    And when the sun descended
    Dm

    and the night arose
    Em
    F

    I heard my father cursing everyone he knows
    Am
    Em

    He was dangerous and drunk and defeated
    F
    G

    And corroded by failure and envy and hate
    C

    There were endless winters
    Dm

    and the dreams would freeze
    Em
    F

    Nowhere to hide and no leaves on the trees
    Am
    Em

    And my father's eyes were blank
    F
    G

    As he hit me again and again and again
    Am
    Em

    I know I still believe he'd never let me leave
    F
    G

    I had to run away alone
    Am

    So many threats and fears,
    Em

    so many wasted years
    F
    G

    Before my life became my own
    Pre-chorus 2
    Dm
    G

    And though the nightmares should be over
    Am
    F

    Some of the terrors are still intact
    Dm
    G

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

    And then he grabs me from behind,
    F

    and then he pulls me back
    Chorus 2
    Em
    Am

    But it was long ago, and it was far away
    F
    G

    Oh God, it seems so very far
    Em
    Am

    And if life is just a highway,
    F
    G

    then the soul is just a car
    C
    Dm

    Em
    F
    C

    may appear closer than they are
    Dm

    Verse 3
    C
    Dm

    There was a beauty living on the edge of town
    Em

    She always put the top up
    F

    and the hammer down
    Am
    Em

    And she taught me everything I'll ever know
    F
    G

    About the mystery and the muscle of love
    Am

    Those were the rites of spring
    Em

    and we did everything
    F
    G

    There was salvation every night
    Am

    We got our dreams reborn
    Em

    and our upholstery torn
    F
    G

    But everything we tried was right
    Pre-chorus 3
    Dm
    G

    She used her body just like a bandage
    Am
    F

    She used my body just like a wound
    Dm

    I'll probably never know
    G

    where she disappeared
    Am

    But I can see her rising up
    G

    out of the back seat now
    F

    Just like an angel rising up from a tomb
    Chorus 3
    Em
    Am

    But it was long ago, and it was far away
    F
    G

    Oh God, it seems so very far
    Em
    Am

    And if life is just a highway,
    F
    G

    then the soul is just a car
    C
    Dm

    And objects in the rear view mirror
    Em
    F
    C

    may appear closer than they are
    Dm

    And objects in the rear view mirror
    Em
    F
    C

    may appear closer than they are

    • 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.
