Verso 1:
          E5                B5
There's a man dying on the side of the road,
A5                    B5
Won't make it home tonight.
       E5                   B5
He was driving fast on his cellular phone,
A5                       B5
That's how he lived his life.
E5            B5            A5
While he was hangin' by a thread
               B5              E5
these were the final words he said

My girl turns sweet sixteen today,
                 B5
She's beautiful, so beautiful.
E5            B5
It might get rough sometimes
      A5
but I hope she keeps her faith.
E5        B5                
I wish I grabbed a chance to say to her
            E5                 B5              A5
Life is too short so take the time and appreciate

Verso 2:
          E5                   B5
There's a women crying on the kitchen floor,
A5                B5
She got a call tonight.
          E5                     B5
Now she's trembling outside her daughter?s door
                       B5
Walks in and holds her tight
E5           B5
Wondering how and where to start,
            B5                 E5
Is there a way to shield her heart?

Any but a loving way
   B5               A5

Don't be afraid to open up
