Kris Kristofferson Closer to the Bone Lyrics

It's most likely not what he actually plays, but these chords sound about right to me.
Listen to the song to figure out the strumming pattern and how to alternate
between A and Asus2 (which is simply the A with your third finger lifted.)
Intro: A Asus2 A Asus2
First Verse:
Ain't it kinda funny
s
Ain't it just the way though
Ain't 'cha gettin' better
Runnin' out of time
s
Making pretty music
su
Closer to your feelings
Working on the reason
s
Running on the rhyme
Chorus:
Heading for the highway
s
Rolling like a river
Soaring like an eagle
s
Skippin' like a stone
Comin' from the heartbeat
Nothin' but the truth now
Everything is sweeter
su
Closer to the bone
Second Verse:
Ain't afraid of moonlight
Ain't afraid of freedom
Love will make you crazy
But your soul will keep you sane
Singing to the starlight
Over the horizon
Open to the pleasure
Equal to the pain
Chorus:
Heading for the highway
Rolling like a river
Soaring like an eagle
Skippin' like a stone
Comin' from the heartbeat
Nothin' but the truth now
Everything is sweeter
Closer to the bone
Chords:
A: 002220
Asus2: 002200
E: 022100
D: xx0232
