When I grew up with my best friend, Kenny

We were close as any brothers

It was always summer and the future called

And so much time to make it real

But I can still recall the sting
Bb

of all the tears when he was gone

They say he crashed and burned,

I know I'll never learn

Why any boy should die so young

Pre-chorus 1
Gm7
C
We were racing, we were soldiers of fortune
Dm
Bb
We got in trouble but we sure got around
Gm7
There are times I think
C
I see him peeling out of the dark
Dm
C6
I think he's right behind me now,
Bb
and he's gaining ground
Chorus 1
Am

Verse 2
F
And when the sun descended
Gsus2
and the night arose
Am
Bb
I heard my father cursing everyone he knows
Dm7
Am/E
He was dangerous and drunk and defeated
Bbmaj7
C
And corroded by failure and envy and hate
F
There were endless winters
Gsus2
and the dreams would freeze
Am
Bb
Nowhere to hide and no leaves on the trees
Dm7
Am/E
And my father's eyes were blank
Bbmaj7
C
As he hit me again and again and again
Dm
Am/E
I know I still believe he'd never let me leave
Bb
C
I had to run away alone
Dm
So many threats and fears,
Am/E
so many wasted years
Bb
C
Before my life became my own
Pre-chorus 2
Gm7
C
And though the nightmares should be over
Dm
Bb
Some of the terrors are still intact
Gm7
C
I'll hear that ugly, coarse, and violent voice
Dm
C6
And then he grabs me from behind,
Bb
and then he pulls me back
Chorus 2
Am
Dm7
But it was long ago, and it was far away
Bb
C
Oh God, it seems so very far
Am
Dm
And if life is just a highway,
Bb

then the soul is just a car

may appear closer than they are

may appear closer than they

Verse 3
F
Gsus2
There was a beauty living on the edge of town
Am
She always put the top up
Bb
and the hammer down
Dm7
Am/E
And she taught me everything I'll ever know
Bbmaj7
C
About the mystery and the muscle of love
Dm
Those were the rites of spring
Am/E
and we did everything
Bb
C
There was salvation every night
Dm
We got our dreams reborn
Am/E
and our upholstery torn
Bb
C
But everything we tried was right
Pre-chorus 3
Gm7
C
She used her body just like a bandage
Dm
Bb
She used my body just like a wound
Gm7
I'll probably never know
C
where she disappeared
Dm
But I can see her rising up
C6
out of the back seat now
Bbmaj7
Just like an angel rising up from a tomb
Chorus 3
