The skies were pure and the fields were green

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

Dm

And objects in the rear view mirror
Em
F
C

may appear closer than they are

may appear closer than they

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

Dm

And objects in the rear view mirror
Em

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,

  • 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.
