Gm
The skies were pure and the fields were green

The sun was brighter than it's ever been
Dm
Am
When I grew up with my best friend, Kenny
F
Gm
It was always summer and the future called
Dm
Am
There was so much left to dream
Bb
C
And so much time to make it real
Dm
Am
But I can still recall the sting
Bb

of all the tears when he was gone
Bb
C
Why any boy should die so young

Gm
C
We were racing, we were soldiers of fortune
Dm

We got in trouble but we sure got around

I think he's right behind me now,
Chorus 1
Am
Dm
But it was long ago, and it was far away

Oh God, it seems so very far

may appear closer than they are

may appear closer than they

Verse 2
Am
Bb
I heard my father cursing everyone he knows
Dm
Am
He was dangerous and drunk and defeated
Bb
C
And corroded by failure and envy and hate
Am
Bb
Nowhere to hide and no leaves on the trees
Dm
Am
And my father's eyes were blank
Bb
C
As he hit me again and again and again
Dm
Am
I know I still believe he'd never let me leave
Bb
C
I had to run away alone
Bb
C
Before my life became my own
Pre-chorus 2
Gm
C
And though the nightmares should be over
Dm
Bb
Some of the terrors are still intact
Gm

I'll hear that ugly, coarse, and violent voice
Dm
C
And then he grabs me from behind,
Chorus 2
Am
Dm
But it was long ago, and it was far away

C
Oh God, it seems so very far

may appear closer than they are

Bb
F
may appear closer than they are
Am
Bb
may appear closer than they

There was a beauty living on the edge of town

About the mystery and the muscle of love

There was salvation every night

But everything we tried was right

She used her body just like a bandage

She used my body just like a wound

And objects in the rear view mirror

F
may appear closer than they are

Bb
F
may appear closer than they are
