    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

[Chorus]

      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

[Chorus]

      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
