Closest I've Ever Been
Written by Keith Anderson & Bobby Pinson
Recorded by Keith Anderson

(No Capo)

Intro.:  |(C) |(Cmaj7) |(Am) |(Cmaj7) |

(C) Closest I've ever been (Cmaj7) to meetin' Jesus was when
(Am) Me and Bobby Pinson put up our (G)pink slips on Blue Hole Road (F)
(C) My needle showin' ninety, (Cmaj7) I flew right by him
(Am) Lighting fast 'til I had a bad (F) Goodyear blow
That ol' (F)Chevy --- rolled and rolled and I know (G)heaven
Must've (F)heart the words beneath my breath and I (G) thank God
I (F)ain't there (C) yet (G)

(Chorus)
(C) That's the closest I've ever been to, (G) never seein' my momma again
(Am)Found out quick how precious life is (F)drive my new truck a little (G)slower than I did
(C) That's the smallest I've ever felt, (G) that's the furthest I've ever fell
(Am)Not too far to (G)find out how life (F) ends, --- that's the closest I've ever been

Solo:  |(C) |(Cmaj7/B) |(Am/C) |(Cmaj7) |

(C) Closest I've ever been (Cmaj7) to bein' the devil's friend was when
(Am/C) Shelly gave in to me and him (G) down by the (F)river
(C) I gave her my heart and my jacket, (Cmaj7) still ain't got 'em back yet
(Am/C) She left me hurtin' and search-(F)in' for love or liquor or whatever
Quicker than (G)I could say sin I slipped (F)further in than I was plannin'
(G) I never shook the devil's hand, (Am) but I drank his whiskey and I (G/B) loved his women

(2nd Chorus)
(C) That's the closest I've ever been to, (G) tellin' God to hell with Him
(Am)Goin' down in flames, and layin' the blame, (F)why would He ever let her (G) walk away
(C) That's the smallest I've ever felt, (G) that's the furthest I've ever fell
But (Am)not too far for (G)God to for-(F)give, and I thank God that's the closest I've (C)ever been (G)

(D) Got it (E)all be-(F)hind me (A) (Bb) and every (C)day I'm (D)findin' (G)(D)
Another (F)way to be the (C)best man I can (F) ---

(Tag)
And I'm the closest I've (C)ever been (Cmaj7)
Closest I've (Am/C) ever been (Cmaj7)
(C) Closest (Cmaj7)I've ever been (Am/C) (Cmaj7) (C9)
