INTRO; [A-D-A| A-E-A]
[A] She got behind the wheel of a [D] car she'd never drove [A] before.
[A] She drove a hundred miles with her [D] foot flat down to the [A] floor.
She didn't [E] stop to fill the [Dbm] tank or turn for [F#m] home. [F#7]
She tried to [A] self destruct `cos [E] she was on her [A] own.
[A] Who could know the the [D] pain this girl was [A] in.
[A] The story's long she [D] wouldn't know where to [A] begin.
With the [E] cops trying to slow her [Dbm] down any way they [F#m] can. [F#7]
She tried to [A] self destruct all [E] because of that [A] man.
(CHORUS)
There was a [D] row of cops behind her lights [E] a-glow.
[D] Sirens wailing loud oh what a [E] show. [E7]
She was [A] crying hard with [D] grief and tears of [E] woe.
Just a [D] matter of time [E] before a tyre would [A] blow.
[A] Back in the church the [D] bride was all in [A] white.
[A] The wedding car [D] outside was lost from [A] sight.
It was [E] speeding down the [Dbm] road with cops [F#m] behind. [F#7]
And the [A] preacher stood there [E] waiting for a [A] sign.
She had her [F#m] music turned up loud.
Recalled the [A] church bells called the crowd.
She had to [D] get away [E] before the preacher [A] prayed.
[A] Well it was nine o'clock and the [D] sky was getting [D] dark.
[A] She was getting tired so she [D] crashed out in some [A] park.
The [E] cops pulled out their [Dbm] guns and aimed to [F#m] kill. [F#7]
Time to [A] self destruct she [E] lost the will to [A] live.
