Verse:
Fm
Girl of sixteen whole life ahead of her,
Slashed her wrists, bored with life.
Didnʼt succeed, thank the Lord,
A#m7       C      Fm
for small mercies.

Fm
Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again,
Sixteen candles burn in her mind.
She takes the blame, itʼs always the same,
     A#m7                             Fm
she goes down on her knees and prays.

Chorus:
   C#                      G#
I donʼt want to start any blasphemous rumours, but I
 A#m7                    C#
think that Godʼs got a sick sense of humour, and
 D#9                          C#
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.
