  			Intro: G Cadd9 D G Cadd9 D
 
G      D    Cadd9               G     D    Cadd9 
Sometimes we get second chances, 
sometimes we never make it past the first, 
Am       Cadd9      G          D                    C         G              D 
it really makes me wonder why some things happen when they do, 
Am       Cadd9      G         D                Am                D 
it really makes me wonder why it wasn't me instead of you.  
                    G    D Cadd9 
And when you say,  
it doesn't matter,  
        G    D Cadd9 
well it does,  
            G D Cadd9 
and all it takes 
                               G        D Cadd9 
is a mistake to eat your words,  
Am                                   Cadd9    D      G 
just one more time I think I'll drive on home tonight..  
Sometimes we never see the warning,  
and the voice in your head tells you not to go,  
it really makes me wonder why some things happen when they do,  
It really makes me wonder why it wasn't me instead of you.  
                    G    D Cadd9 
And when you say,  
it doesn't matter,  
        G    D Cadd9 
well it does,  
            G D Cadd9 
and all it takes 
                               G        D Cadd9 
is a mistake to eat your words,  
Am                                   Cadd9    D      G 
just one more time I think I'll drive on home tonight..  
 
Em 
And when you look, it's gone,  
          Am             D 
it's too late to turn around,  
Em                                       Am                           D 
and it's another day facing yourself and the things that you've done,  
woh-oh-oh-oh-ohhh  
                    G    D Cadd9 
And when you say,  
it doesn't matter,  
        G    D Cadd9 
well it does,  
            G D Cadd9 
and all it takes 
                               G        D Cadd9 
is a mistake to eat your words,  
Am                                   Cadd9    D      G 
just one more time I think I'll drive on home tonight
