Intro 1
(F major) (Gsus2) (A minor) (B flat major)
(D minor7) (A minor) (B flat minoraj7) (C major)
Verse 1
The (F major) skies were pure and the (Gsus2) fields were green
The (A minor) sun was brighter than it's (B flat major) ever been
When I grew (D minor7) up with my best friend, (A minor) Kenny
We were close as any (B flat minoraj7) brothers
that you ever (C major) knew
It was (F major) always summer and the (Gsus2) future called
We were (A minor) ready for adventures
and we (B flat major) wanted them all
There was (D minor7) so much left to dream (A minor)
And so much time (B flat minoraj7) to make it real (C major)
But I can (D minor) still recall the sting (A minor/E)
of all the tears (B flat major) when he was gone (C major)
They say he (D minor) crashed and burned,
I know I'll (A minor/E) never learn
Why any (B flat major) boy should die so (C major) young

Pre-chorus 1
We were (G minor7) racing, we were soldiers of fortune (C major)
We got in (D minor) trouble but we sure got around (B flat major)
There are (G minor7) times I think
I see him peeling (C major) out of the dark
I think he's (D minor) right behind me now, (C6)
and he's gaining (B flat major) ground
Chorus 1
But it was (A minor) long ago, and it was (D minor7) far away
Oh God, it (B flat major) seems so very far (C major)
And if (A minor) life is just a highway, (D minor)
then the (B flat major) soul is just a car (C major)
And (F major) objects in the rear view (Gsus2) mirror
may appear closer (F/A) than (B flat major) they (F major) are
And objects in the rear view (Gsus2) mirror
may appear closer (F/A) than (B flat major) they
Interlude 1
(F major) (are) (Gsus2) They are (A minor) (B flatsus2)
Verse 2
And when the (F major) sun descended
and the (Gsus2) night arose
I (A minor) heard my father cursing every (B flat major) one he knows
He was (D minor7) dangerous and drunk and defeated (A minor/E)
And corroded by failure (B flat minoraj7) and envy and hate (C major)
There were (F major) endless winters
and the (Gsus2) dreams would freeze
(A minor) Nowhere to hide and no leaves (B flat major) on the trees
And my (D minor7) father's eyes were (A minor/E) blank
As he hit me again (B flat minoraj7) and again and again (C major)
I know I (D minor) still believe he'd never (A minor/E) let me leave
I had to (B flat major) run away alone (C major)
So many (D minor) threats and fears,
so many (A minor/E) wasted years
Before my (B flat major) life became my (C major) own
Pre-chorus 2
And though the (G minor7) nightmares should be over (C major)
Some of the (D minor) terrors are still in (B flat major) tact
I'll hear that (G minor7) ugly, coarse, and (C major) violent voice
And then he (D minor) grabs me from behind, (C6)
and then he pulls me (B flat major) back
Chorus 2
But it was (A minor) long ago, and it was (D minor7) far away
Oh God, it (B flat major) seems so very far (C major)
And if (A minor) life is just a highway, (D minor)
then the (B flat major) soul is just a car (C major)
And (F major) objects in the rear view (Gsus2) mirror
may appear closer (F/A) than (B flat major) they (F major) are
And objects in the rear view (Gsus2) mirror
may appear closer (F/A) than (B flat major) they (F major) are
And objects in the rear view (Gsus2) mirror
may appear closer (F/A) than (B flat major) they
Interlude 2
(F major) (are) (D minor7) (B flatadd9) (B flat/C)
Interlude 3
(F major) (Gsus2) (A minor) (B flat major)
(D minor7) (A minor/E) (B flat minoraj7) (C major)
Verse 3
There was a (F major) beauty living on the (Gsus2) edge of town
She (A minor) always put the top up
and the (B flat major) hammer down
And she (D minor7) taught me everything I'll (A minor/E) ever know
About the (B flat minoraj7) mystery and the muscle of (C major) love
Those were the (D minor) rites of spring
and we did (A minor/E) everything
There was sal (B flat major) vation every night (C major)
We got our (D minor) dreams reborn
and our up (A minor/E) holstery torn
But every (B flat major) thing we tried was (C major) right
Pre-chorus 3
She used her (G minor7) body just like a bandage (C major)
She used my (D minor) body just like a wound (B flat major)
I'll probably (G minor7) never know
where she (C major) disappeared
But I can (D minor) see her rising up
out of the (C6) back seat now
Just like an (B flat minoraj7) angel rising up from a tomb
Chorus 3
But it was (A minor) long ago, and it was (D minor7) far away
Oh God, it (B flat major) seems so very far (C major)
And if (A minor) life is just a highway, (D minor)
then the (B flat major) soul is just a car (C major)
And (F major) objects in the rear view (Gsus2) mirror
may appear closer (F/A) than (B flat major) they (F major) are
And objects in the rear view (Gsus2) mirror
may appear closer (F/A) than (B flat major) they (F major) are
