C G F G

Danny came home with a degree

C G F G

and settled back in his old room

C G F G

and i had a job on the 10th floor

C G F G

?!?

here in the town of my youth

F G Am Em

and everyone else that i'd ever known

F Em G

had found a good reason to move

C G

so when danny called up and said

F G

how 'bout a beer well

F G C

i had nothing better to do

C G F G

10 years ago we were in school

C G F G

i was a friend of a friend

C G F G

chemistry books under his arms

C G F G

and lord of the flies in my hands

F G Am Em

we weren't jocks but we weren't nerds

F Em G

we were somewhere in between

C G F G

we weren't stars no we were just extras

F G C

in our little high school scene

F C

some friends are roads that take you onwards

Am Em Dm G

some friends are highways that bring you home

C G Am

then there are those who are the driveways

G Am

get you out the door on fridays

G C

that you would have spent alone

C G

He'd get me at 8:00

F G

and we'd head to this place

C G F G

out where the road turned to dirt

C G F G

He'd have that beer then he'd dsappear

C G F G

hot on the trail of a skirt

F G Am Em

He wasn't that brave but the one thing that saved him

F Em G

was knowing a more frightened man

G F G

so i'd save his place i'd tell him go get her ace

F G C

then i would clap for the band

F C

some friends are roads that take you onwards

Am Em Dm G

some friends are highways that bring you home

C G Am

then there are those who are the driveways

G Am

get you out the door on fridays

G C

that you would have spent alone

C G F G

an offer came through and danny agreed

C G F G

and they flew him off to hawaii

C G F G

i knew that he left but i overslept

C G F G

and i never called to say goodbye

F G Am Em

and i went to work and i went to bed

F Em G

and nothin' seemed different at all

C G F G

so isn't it strange that of all things

F G C

i would choose this to recall

F C

some friends are roads that take you onwards

Am Em Dm G

some friends are highways that bring you home

C G Am

then there are those who are the driveways

G Am

get you out the door on fridays

G Am D7

that you would have spent alone

A7 G C

yeah you would haves spent alone
