Verse:
F#m
Girl of sixteen whole life ahead of her,
Slashed her wrists, bored with life.
Didnʼt succeed, thank the Lord,
Bm7       C#      F#m
for small mercies.

F#m
Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again,
Sixteen candles burn in her mind.
She takes the blame, itʼs always the same,
     Bm7                             F#m
she goes down on her knees and prays.

Chorus:
   D                      A
I donʼt want to start any blasphemous rumours, but I
 Bm7                    D
think that Godʼs got a sick sense of humour, and
 E9                          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.
