Intro: A  Asus2 

   Ami              G          F
1. Girl of sixteen, whole life ahead of her
   Ami                 G          F
   Slashed her wrists, bored with life
   Ami             C         Dmi                   Ami
   Didn't succeed, thank the Lord - For small mercies
   
2. Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again
   Sixteen candles burn in her mind
   She takes the blame, it's always the same
   She goes down on her knees and prays

     F                       C
R: I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
         F                      C
   But I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
       F               C               F
   And when I die I expect to find Him laughing

3. Girl of eighteen, fell in love with everything
   Found new life in Jesus Christ
   Hit by a car, ended up
   On a life support machine
   
4. Summer's day, as she passed away
   Birds were singing in the summer sky
   Then came the rain, and once again
   A tear fell from her mother's eye

R: I don't want to start...
