GAin't it kinda funny ain't it just the way though
Ain't 'cha gettin' better D7runnin' out of Gtime 
Making pretty music closer to your feelings 
Working on the reason D7running on the Grhyme
Heading for the Chighway rolling like a Griver 
Soaring like an eagle skippin' D7like a stone
Comin' from the Gheartbeat nothin' but the truth now
Everything is sweeter D7closer to the Gbone
Ain't afraid of moonlight ain't afraid of freedom 
Love will make you crazy but your D7soul will keep you Gsane 
Singing to the starlight over the horizon
Open to the pleasure D7equal to the Gpain 
Heading for the Chighway rolling like a Griver
Soaring like an eagle skippin' like a D7stone 
Comin' from the Gheartbeat nothin' but the truth now 
Everything is sweeter D7closer to the Gbone
