Jesus, Take the Wheel

 
                            D                                  A           
She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati 
 
         Bm                           A 
On a snow white Christmas Eve 
 
D                               A                                           Bm                     A 
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat 
 
         D                                A                     Bm                A 
Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline 
 
                  G 
It d been a long hard year 
 
                D                                 A 
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention 
 
             Bm                A 
She was going way to fast 
 
D                  A                                       Bm                       A 
Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass 
 
               D                          A 
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes 
  
       Bm                    A 
She didn't even have time to cry 
 
              G 
She was sooo scared 
 
                       D 
She threw her hands up in the air 
 
G  D 
 
D                     A 
Jesus take the wheel 
  
A                        E 
Take it from my hands 
 
                             Bm  A    D  
Cause I can't do this on my own 
 
D              A 
I'm letting go 
 
 A                                 E 
So give me one more chance 
E                           Bm   A   D 
 save me from this road I'm on 
 
D                      A     
Jesus take the wheel 
 
D   A   Bm   A  D A G
 
          D                                          A                
It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder 
 
            Bm                 A 
And the car came to a stop 
  
       D                                   A                            Bm                 A 
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock 
 
                   D                  A 
And for the first time in a long time 
  
       Bm                        A 
She bowed her head to pray 
 
                    G 
She said I'm sorry for the way 
 
        D 
I've been living my life 
 
            G 
I know I've got to change 
 
             D                     G D
So from now on tonight 
 
D                      A 
Jesus take the wheel 
 
A                        E 
Take it from my hands 
 
E                            Bm  A  D                               
Cause I can't do this on my own 
 
D              A 
I'm letting go 
 
 A                               E 
So give me one more chance 
 
 
 
 
  E                         Bm   A    D 
 save me from this road I'm on 
 
       D                        A    
Oh, Jesus take the wheel 
 
A   E   Bm   A   D 
 
  D                 A 
Oh, I'm letting go 
 
                                 E 
So give me one more chance 
 
                            Bm    A  D 
Save me from this road I'm on 
 
               Bm   A   D 
From this road I'm on 
 
 
Jesus take the wheel  
 
D  A  Bm   A 
 
Oh, take it, take it from me 
 
Oh, why, oh
