[Verso 1]
G D Em
Sometimes you look the same
Am G D
Just like you did before the accident

It's hard to believe

You don't remember it

Woke up in the ambulance

You pieced it all together on the drive
[Refrão]

I know you don't remember calling me

But I told you even

In a hospital bed

I remember you said
Em Am
You were scared
Cm
And so was I

In a stand still on the five

Usually I don't panic

I just wanted to be on time

When I saw the ambulances on the shoulder

I didn't even think of pulling over

I pieced it all together late that night
[Refrão]

[Ponte]
G
What if it happened to you
On a different day?
On a bridge where there wasn't
A rail in the way?
G
Or a neighborhood street
Where the little kids play?
Or the Angeles Crest
In the snow or the rain?
G
What if you weren't alone?
There were kids in the car
What if you were remote?
No one knows where you are
G
If you changed anything
Would you not have survived?
You're alive, you're alive
C
You're alive
[Refrão]
G
And I know you don't
Em C
Remember calling me
G
But I told you even
Em C
Then you looked so pretty
Em G
In a hospital bed
C
I remember you said
Em Am
You were scared
Cm
And so was I
