Capo 3rd Fret

Intro: (G)  (Em)  (G)  (Em)  x2
 
I had a (G) friend
(C) He didn't make it (G) home last night 
(C) He went out on the (G) town
(C) And he had himself a (G) time (C)
(D) When it was time for leaving, he was (C) much too (G) tight
(D) He climbed behind the wheel and it (C) cost him his (G) life
He (Em) thought he knew better, the (D) odds he could (G) beat
He said, "I'll (C) make it alright, don't you (D) worry 'bout me"

 	 It (G) can't
 	 It (D) can't happen to (C) me
 	 I got an angel watching over me
 	 It (G) can't
 	 It (D) can't happen to (C) me
 	 It's always someone else, you see
 	 It (G) can't 
 	 (D) Can't happen to (C) me
 	 It can't happen to me

I knew a (G) young man
(C) He had it all going (G) his way
(C) But he carried (G) with him
(C) A deep seeded (G) pain (C)
He stepped (D) over the line to (C) find some es(G)cape
They (D) found him one night - Lying (C) face down in the (G) rain 
He (Em) thought he was stronger - the (D) odds he could (G) beat
He said, "I'll (C) make it alright, don't you (D) worry 'bout me"

Repeat Chorus

I (D) wish I had a dollar for every(C)time I've heard it (G) said
"They'll (D) never get to me, cause I'm (C) quicker than the (G) rest"
The (D) night is closing in and the (C) hounds are at my (Em) heels
But, I'm (C) always one step ahead (D)

Repeat Chorus and Fade Out
