* Meat Loaf : Objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

The sFkies were pure and the Gsus2fields were green
The Amsun was brighter than it's eBbver been
When I grew Dm7up with my best friend KAm/Eenny
We were close as any bBbmaj7rothers than you ever kCnew
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
The tearBbs when he was goneC
They said he cDmrashed and burned
Am7/E Bb C
I know I'll never learn why any boy should die so young
We were rGm7acing, we were soldiers of forCtune
We got in trDmouble but we sure got aroBbund
There are tGm7imes I think I see him peeling oCut of the dark
I think he's rDmight behind me nDm/Cow and he's gaining gBbround
But it was lAm7ong ago and it was Dmfar away
Oh God it sBbeems so very farC
And if lAm7ife is just a higDmhway
Then the sBboul is just a carC C7
And oFbjects in the rear view Gsus2mirror may appear cF/Aloser tBbhan they aFre
And objects in the rear view Gsus2mirror may appear cF/Aloser than they aFre
Gm F/A Bb CsusThey aFre
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...

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
