Key: F#mF#m | Capo: 0fr |  Left-Handed 

    


Verse 1 and 2
F#m
Girl of sixteen whole life ahead of her,
Slashed her wrists, bored with life.
Didn't succeed, thank the Lord,
Bm        C#      F#m
for small mercies.
F#m
Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again,
Sixteen candles burn in her mind.
She takes the blame, it's always the same,
     Bm                             F#m
she goes down on her knees and prays.
Chorus
   D                      A/C#
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours, but I
 Bm7                    D
think that God's got a sick sense of humour, and
 E9sus4                          D
when I die, I expect to find Him laughing.
[End Chorus
[Verses 3 and 4 same as 1 and 2. Words below.]
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.
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.
