[G] [D] [Em] [D] [Am] [G] [D]
[G]Some[D]times you look the [Em]same
[D]Just like you [Am]did before the [G]accident [D]
[G]When you’re [D]staring into [Em]space
It’s [D]hard to [Am]believe you don’t [G]remember it
[D]Woke up in the ambulance, you [Em]pieced it all [D]together on the [C]drive


And I [G]know you don’t [Em]remember calling [C]me
But I [G]told you even [Em]then, “You look so [C]pretty”, in a [Em]hospital [G]bed
I [C]remember you said [Em]you were [Am]scared, and so was [Cm]I


[G]And I [D]stand still on the [Em]five
[D]Thought it was [Am]unusual, the early [G]traffic
[D]Usually I don’t panic, [G]I just [D]wanted to be on [Em]time
[D]When I saw the [Am]ambulances [G]on the shoulder
I [D]didn’t even think of pulling over
I [Em]pieced it all [D]together late that [C]night


And I [G]know you don’t [Em]remember calling [C]me
But I [G]told you even [Em]then, “You look so [C]pretty”, in a [Em]hospital [G]bed
I [C]remember you said [Em]you were [Am]scared, and so was [Cm]I


What if it [G]happened to you on a [B7]different day
On a [Em]bridge where there wasn’t a [B7]rail in the way
Or a [G]neighborhood street where the [B7]little kids play
Or the [Em]Angeles Crest in the [B7]snow or the rain
What if [G]you weren’t alone, there were [B7]kids in car
What if [Em]you were remote, no one [B7]knows where you are
If you [G]changed anything, would you [B7]not have survived?
You’re [Em]alive, you’re alive, you’re [C]alive


And I [G]know you don’t [Em]remember calling [C]me
But I [G]told you even [Em]then, “You look so [C]pretty”, in a [Em]hospital [G]bed
I [C]remember you said [Em]you were [Am]scared, [Cm]and so am [G]I
