* Meat Loaf : Objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are --------------------------------------------------------------------------- b (Steinman) F Gsus2 Am Bb Dm7 Am/E F/Bb C F Gsus2 The skies were pure and the fields were green Am Bb The sun was brighter than it's ever been Dm7 Am/E When I grew up with my best friend Kenny Bbmaj7 C We were close as any brothers than you ever knew It was always summer and the future called We were ready for adventures and we wanted them all There was so much left to dream And so much time to make it real Dm Am7/E But I can still recall the sting of all Bb C The tears when he was gone Dm They said he crashed and burned Am7/E Bb C I know I'll never learn why any boy should die so young Gm7 C We were racing, we were soldiers of fortune Dm Bb We got in trouble but we sure got around Gm7 C There are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark Dm Dm/C Bb I think he's right behind me now and he's gaining ground Am7 Dm But it was long ago and it was far away Bb C Oh God it seems so very far Am7 Dm And if life is just a highway Bb C C7 Then the soul is just a car F Gsus2 F/A Bb F And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are Gsus2 F/A F And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are Gm F/A Bb Csus F They are Dm Bb C7sus And when the sun descended and the night arose I heard my father cursing everyone he knows He was dangerous and drunk and defeated And corroded by failure and envy and hate There were endless winters and the dreams would freeze Nowhere to hide and no leaves on the trees And my father's eyes were blank as he hit me again and again and again I know I still believe he'd never let me leave, I had to run away alone So many threats and fears, so many wasted years before my life became my own And though the nightmares should be over Some of the terrors are still intact I'll hear that ugly coarse and violent voice And then he grabs me from behind and then he pulls me back And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are... (Solo:) Gm7 C Dm Bb Gm7 C Dm Dm/C Bbmaj7 Dm/C Gm7 C Dm Bb Gm7 C Dm Dm/C Bbmaj7 Bb/C F Gsus2 Am Bb Dm7 Am/E Bbmaj7 C There was a beauty living on the edge of town And she always put the top up and the hammer down And she taught me everything I'll ever know About the mystery and the muscle of love The stars would glimmer and the moon would glow I'm in the back seat with my Julie like a Romeo And the signs along the highway all said, "Caution! Kids At Play!" Those were the rights of spring and we did everything There was salvation every night We got our dreams reborn and our upholstery torn But everything we tried was right She used her body just like a bandage, she used my body just like a wound I'll probably never know where she disappeared But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now Just like an angel rising up from a tomb And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are... She used her body just like a bandage, she used my body just like a wound I'll probably never know where she disappeared But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now Gsus2 F/Bb Bbmaj7 E |---3------1-------1------| B |---0------1-------3------| G |---2------2-------2------| D |---0------3-------3------| A |---2------1-------1------| E |---3---------------------| ******************************************************************************* Keep rockin !
