           D                        A
She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
      Bm                   A
On a snow white Christmas Eve
 D             A
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy
          Bm              A
With the baby in the backseat
       D                   A
Fifty miles to go and she was runnin' low
    Bm            A
On faith and gasoline

             G
It'd been a long hard year

She had a lot on her mind
and she didn't pay attention
She was goin' way too fast
Before she knew it
She was spinnin' on a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry

         G                        D
She was so scared, she threw her hands
up in the air

Chorus:
                A
Jesus take the wheel
                 E
Take it from my hands
                      Bm A/C# D
Cause I can't do this on  my  own
             A
I'm letting go
                      E
So give me one more chance
                  Bm  A/C# D
Save me from this road I'm on
                 D  A Bm A D A G
Jesus take the wheel

It was still gettin' colder when
she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat
Sleepin' like a rock
And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said, "I'm sorry for the way
I've been livin' my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight"

Chorus:
"Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
'Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
Oh, Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me"

Oh, woah, ooh
