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 
                         Bm   A/C# D 
I hope they get to me in time 
                  Bm   A/C# D 
Just get to me in time 
                     Bm      A/C# G 
Please get to me in, in time
