Intro: CG/BAm7G/B (x2)
CG/B
She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
Am7G/B
On a snow white Christmas Eve
CG/B
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy
Am7G/B
With the baby in the backseat
CG/BAm7G/B
Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline
F
It'd been a long hard year
CG/B
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
Am7G/B
She was going way too fast
CG/B
Before she knew it she was spinning
Am7G/B
On a thin black sheet of glass
CG/B
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
Am7G/B
She didn't even have time to cry
FC
She was so scared, she threw her hands up in the air
Chorus:
G
Jesus take the wheel
D
Take it from my hands
AmG/BC
Cause I can't do this on my own
G
I'm letting go
D
So give me one more chance
AmG/BC
Save me from this road I'm on
CG/BAm7G/BCG/BF
Jesus take the wheel
CG/B
It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
Am7G/B
And the car came to a stop
CG/B
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat
Am7G/B
Sleeping like a rock
CG/B
And for the first time in a long time
Am7G/B
She bowed her head to pray
FC
She said I'm sorry for the way I've been living my life
FC
I know I've got to change, so from now on tonight
Chorus:
G
Jesus take the wheel
D
Take it from my hands
AmG/BC
Cause I can't do this on my own
G
I'm letting go
D
So give me one more chance
AmG/BC
Save me from this road I'm on
GDAmC
Jesus take the wheel.........
G
Ohh I'm letting go
D
So give me one more chance
AmG/BC
Save me from this road I'm on
AmG/BC
From this road I'm on
