[Verse 1]
G Bm
I was sittin’ at the bar,
C G
I was minding my own beer,
Bm
When she pulled in beside me,
C D
Said “You mind if I sit here?”
G Bm
The boys all think I’m lucky,
C G
They just hear us laughing,

They don’t know inside,
C
I’m just waitin’ for
D G D C G
the wreck to happen.
[Verse 2]
G Bm
‘Cause I’ve been here before,
C G
And I know what to expect,
Bm
You don’t know what hit you,
C D
Till they cut you from the wreck,
G Bm
It’s a long road to recovery,
C G
It won’t happen overnight,
Bm
Spend a few years sweeping up,
C D G D C G*
The pieces of your life.
[Chorus]

I even try,
C D
I took my shots and all I got,
G
Was gun shy,
Am D
When I closed my ey-ey-eyes,
G D/F#
I hear the sounds of two
Em
hearts crashing,
C D
I’m just sittin’ here waitin’
G D C G
for the wreck to happen.

Waitin’ for the wreck to happen.
