"...the closer to the bone you are, the closer to the truth." - Kris Kristofferson



Key of A



Intro:   A  


Verse 1:   


               A
Ain't it kinda funny Ain't it just the way though 

                         E               A
Ain't 'cha gettin' better Runnin' out of time 

              A
Making pretty music Closer to your feelings 

                     E               A
Working on the reason Running on the rhyme 


Chorus:


                D                      A
Heading for the highway Rolling like a river 

                A                     E
Soaring like an eagle Skippin' like a stone 

                A                   
Comin' from the heartbeat Nothin' but the truth now 

                     E              A
Everything is sweeter CLOSER TO THE BONE 



Verse 2:

                A
Ain't afraid of moonlight Ain't afraid of freedom 

                                  E                  A
Love will make you crazy But your soul will keep you sane 

               A                   
Singing to the starlight Over the horizon 

                    E             A
Open to the pleasure Equal to the pain 




Chorus:


                D                      A
Heading for the highway Rolling like a river 

                A                     E
Soaring like an eagle Skippin' like a stone 

                A                   
Comin' from the heartbeat Nothin' but the truth now 

                     E              A
Everything is sweeter CLOSER TO THE BONE
