Intro: Bm A/C# D (2x)
G
I'm eight years old
Daddy's cuttin' my hair
Bm/F#
Aqua Velva on his hands
G
Momma's in the kitchen
Got fried green tomatoes
Bm
Poppin' in the pan
Em F#m
I see a home run, a goal line
G F#m
Holding my friend gettin' baptized
Em F#m
I see her beautiful face under that veil
A
As she's walking down the aisle
G
I can hear the sirens comin'
A
Smell the gasoline and smoke
G Bm
I'm pinned against this steering wheel
A
Pretty sure my arm is broke
Em Bm
I can see the flames and my life
D/F# G
Flashing right before my eyes
Bm A/C# D
I hope they get to me in time
G
I could see the headlights swerve
Bm/F#
So I cut the wheel to the right
G
Last thing I saw was that bottle turned up
Bm
As he crossed that center line
Em F#m
I see tiny hands, brown eyes
G F#m
Fallin' to sleep to that lullaby
Em F#m
And you slide over next to me
A
As I turn out the lights
G
I can hear the sirens comin'
A
Smell the gasoline and smoke
G Bm
I'm pinned against this steering wheel
A
Pretty sure my arm is broke
Em Bm
I can see the flames and my life
D/F# G
Flashing right before my eyes
Bm
I hope they get to me in time
A
Please Lord, I'm beggin' you
G
Don't let me go like this
A
There's so much left that I want to do
Em F#m G D
So much I don't want to miss
G A G A
Em Bm
I can see the flames and my life
D/F# G
Flashing right before my eyes

I hope they get to me in time
