Biography:
Soul Asylum is an American alternative rock band formed in the summer of 1981 by Minneapolis high school friends Dan Murphy, Karl Mueller, and Dave Pirner. The band (named Loud Fast Rules up until 1984) quickly became frontrunners of American college rock, following in the tradition of fellow Minnesota bands Hüsker Dü and The Replacements.
Landing their first record deal with Twin/Tone in 1984, Soul Asylum recorded a total of four albums for the local label: Say What You Will.

Intro/Chorus: | C | Fmaj7 | C | Fmaj7 | C | Fmaj7 | C | Fmaj7 |
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Almost gave up yesterday, almost made it to the top
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Short of dying just the other day, fell short of picking up a mop
F G
If it's the thought that counts, you can always count on me
F G
I think about it all the time
F G
It's going to hit me like a bolt of white lightning
F G
Here it comes, my peace of mind
C F C Fmaj7
Cause I'm close, so close, so close
C F C Fmaj7
I'm close, so close, so close
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Falling short of proving it, just a hair from the truth
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Little shy of improving it, here I come, I'm coming through
F G
Pretty soon I'm going to shed this skin I'm wearing
F G
I've been keeping it inside
F G
No one cares just how you got there
F G
No one cares how hard you've tried
C F C Fmaj7
But you're close, so close, so close
C F C Fmaj7
You're close, so close, so close
(Solo) | D | G | C | D | Am | G/B | C | Dsus4 D |
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Well I've known you forever, we complete each other's thoughts
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Ain't like we never got in trouble, it's just we've never gotten caught
F G F G
And if you've got a secret, it's in me you can confide
F G F G
And if we ever get split up, I'll always be on your side
C F C Fmaj7
Cause we're close, so close, so close
C F C Fmaj7
We're close, so close, so close
