Intro. : |(Bm)  (A/C#)|(D)    |(Bm)  (A/C#)|(D)    |

I'm (G)eight years old
Daddy's cuttin' my hair
Aqua (Bm/F#)Velva on his hands
(G)Momma's in the kitchen
Got fried green tomatoes
(Bm) Poppin' in the pan
I see a (Em) home run, (F#m) a goal line
(G)Holding my friend gettin' (F#m)baptized
I see her (Em)beautiful face (F#m)under that veil
As she's (A) walking down the aisle

(Chorus)
I can (G)hear the sirens comin'
Smell the (A)gasoline and smoke
I'm (G)pinned against this steering wheel (Bm)
Pretty (A)sure my arm is broke
I can (Em)see the flames (Bm)and my life
Flashing (D/F#)right before my (G)eyes
I hope they get to me in (Bm) time (A/C#) (D)

I could (G)see the headlights swerve
So I (Bm/F#)cut the wheel to the right
Last (G)thing I saw was that bottle turned up
As he (Bm) crossed that center line
I see (Em) tiny hands, (F#m) brown eyes
(G)Fallin' to sleep to that (F#m)lullaby
And (Em)you slide over (F#m)next to me
As (A)I turn out the lights

(Chorus)
I can (G)hear the sirens comin'
Smell the (A)gasoline and smoke
I'm (G)pinned against this steering wheel (Bm)
Pretty (A)sure my arm is broke
I can (Em)see the flames (Bm)and my life
Flashing (D/F#)right before my (G)eyes
I hope they get to me in (Bm) time

(A) Please Lord, I'm beggin' you
Don't (G)let me go like this
There's (A)so much left that I want to do
So much (Em) I don't (F#m)want to miss (G) (D)

Inst.:  (G)   (A)   (G)   (A)

I can (Em)see the flames (Bm)and my life
Flashing (D/F#)right before my (G)eyes
I hope they get to me in (Bm)time (A/C#) (D)
Just get to me in (Bm)time (A/C#) (D)
Please get to me in, (Bm) in time (A/C#) (G)
