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
