Verse:
Gm
Girl of sixteen whole life ahead of her,
Slashed her wrists, bored with life.
Didnʼt succeed, thank the Lord,
Cm7       D      Gm
for small mercies.

Gm
Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again,
Sixteen candles burn in her mind.
She takes the blame, itʼs always the same,
     Cm7                             Gm
she goes down on her knees and prays.

Chorus:
   D#                      A#
I donʼt want to start any blasphemous rumours, but I
 Cm7                    D#
think that Godʼs got a sick sense of humour, and
 F9                          D#
when I die, I expect to find Him laughing.

Verse:
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.

Summerʼs day, as she passed away,
Birds were singing in the summer sky.
Then came the rain, and once again,
a tear fell from her motherʼs eye.

Chorus.
