I'm Geight years old
Daddy's cuttin' my hair
Aqua Bm/F#Velva on his hands
GMomma's in the kitchen
Got fried green tomatoes
BmPoppin' in the pan
I see a Emhome run, F#ma goal line
GHolding my friend gettin' F#mbaptized
I see her Embeautiful face F#munder that veil
As she's Awalking down the aisle
[Chorus]
I can Ghear the sirens comin'
Smell the Agasoline and smoke
I'm Gpinned against this steering wheelBm  
Pretty Asure my arm is broke
I can Emsee the flames Bmand my life
Flashing D/F#right before my Geyes
I hope they get to me in BmtimeA/C#  D  
I could Gsee the headlights swerve
So I Bm/F#cut the wheel to the right
Last Gthing I saw was that bottle turned up
As he Bmcrossed that center line
I see Emtiny hands, F#mbrown eyes
GFallin' to sleep to that F#mlullaby
And Emyou slide over F#mnext to me
As AI turn out the lights

I see her beautiful face under that veil

As she's walking down the aisle

I can hear the sirens comin'

Smell the gasoline and smoke

Pretty sure my arm is broke

Last thing I saw was that bottle turned up

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

As I turn out the lights

[Chorus]

I can hear the sirens comin'

Smell the gasoline and smoke

I'm pinned against this steering wheel

Pretty sure my arm is broke
