  Danny came home   with a degree
C5                  G5           F5    G5
  and settled back in his old room
C5              G5  F5              G5
  and i had a job   on the 10th floor
C5              G5          F5      G?!? 
  here in the town of my youth
F5               G5   A5                E5
  and everyone else    that i'd ever known
F5                   E5        G5
  had found a good reason to move
C5                      G5
  so when danny called up and said
F5              G5
  how 'bout a beer well
F5                G5        C5
  i had nothing better to do


C5            G5  F5             G5
  10 years ago    we were in school
C5          G5           F5      G5
  i was a friend of a friend
C5            G5    F5            G5
  chemistry books   under his arms
C5                  G5           F5     G5
  and lord of the flies in my hands
F5             G5    A5                 E5
  we weren't jocks    but we weren't nerds
F5              E5         G5
  we were somewhere in between
C5             G5    F5                  G5
  we weren't stars   no we were just extras
F5         G5                  C5 
  in our little high school scene


F5                                       C5 
  some friends are roads that take you onwards
A5                   E5                      D5  G5
   some friends are highways that bring you home
C5                 G5                 A5 
  then there are those who are the driveways
         G5               A5 
get you out the door on fridays
      G5                     C5
that you would have spent alone

C5                 G5
  He'd get me at 8:00
F5                        G5
  and we'd head to this place
C5                G5              F5    G5
  out where the road turned to dirt
C5                 G5        F5           G5
  He'd have that beer then   he'd dsappear
C5             G5          F5     G5
  hot on the trail of a skirt
F5                 G5        A5                     E5           
  He wasn't that brave but    the one thing that saved him
F5                E5              G5        
  was knowing a more frightened man
                  G5                  F5             G5
  so i'd save his place i'd tell him   go get her ace
F5               G5            C5
  then i would clap for the band
 

 F5                                       C5

C5                 G5     F5            G5
  an offer came through   and danny agreed
C5                    G5        F5   G5
  and they flew him off to hawaii
C5                 G5   F5             G5
  i knew that he left   but i overslept
C5              G5                 F5    G5
  and i never called to say goodbye
F5                G5   A5               E5
  and i went to work    and i went to bed
F5                     E5           G5
  and nothin' seemed different at all
C5               G5     F5          G5
  so isn't it strange   that of all things
F5                 G5         C5
  i would choose this to recall


 F5                                       C5
