Intro: G Em G E (x2) 

verse 1 
        G 
I had a friend 
C                 G 
He didn't make it home last night 
C                  G 
He went out on the town 
C                G     C 
He had himself a time 
D                                    C        G 
When it was time for leaving, he was much too tight 
D                                  C            G 
He climbed behind the wheel and it cost him his life 
   Em                              D             G 
He thought he knew better, and the odds he could beat 
               C                          D 
He said, "I'll make it alright, don't you worry for me"

It can't 
   D               C                                       G 
It can't happen to me,  I got an angel watching over me It can't 
   D               C                                          G 
It can't happen to me, It's always someone else, you see,  It can't 
D               C 
Can't happen to me,  It can't happen to me 

verse 2 
               G 
Well, I knew a young man 
C                   G 
He had it all going his way 
C              G 
But he carried with him 
C             G     C 
A deep seeded pain 
           D                C           G 
He stepped over the line to find some escape 
     D                          C                G 
They found him one night, Lying face down in the rain 
   Em                              D             G 
He thought he was stronger and the odds he could beat 
               C                     D 
He said, "I'll be alright, don't you worry for me"

   D               C                                          G 
It can't happen to me, It's always someone else, you see,  It can't 
D               C 
Can't happen to me,  It can't happen to me 

Bridge 
  D                             C                  G 
I wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard it said 
         D                          C                G 
"They'll never get to me, cause I'm quicker than the rest" 
    D                           C                Em 
The night is closing in and the hounds are at my heels 
         C                  D D D D D D D D D 
But, I'm always one step ahead
