Verse

Sh[D]e was driving la[A]st Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On [Bm]a snow white[A] Christmas Eve
[D]Going home t[A]o see her Mama and her Daddy
With [Bm]the baby in[A] the backseat
Fif[D]ty miles to go [A]and she wa[Bm]s running [A]low, on faith and gasoline
It'd be[G]en a long hard year
She ha[D]d a lot on her[A] mind and she didn't pay attention
She [Bm]was going [A]way too fast
An[D]d befor[A]e she knew it she was spinning
On [Bm]a thin black s[A]heet of glass
She s[D]aw both their [A]lives flash before her eyes
[Bm]She didn't eve[A]n have time to cry
She w[G]as so scared, s[D]he threw her hands up in the air

Chorus

Jesus ta[A]ke the wheel
   E
Take it from my hands
Cause I can'[Bm]t d[A/C#]o thi[D]s on my own
I'm let[A]ting go
So give me[E] one more chance
Save me fr[Bm]om t[A/C#]his r[D]oad I'm on
Jesus ta[D]ke t[A]he [Bm]whee[A]l[D][A][G]

Verse

It wa[D]s still getting c[A]older when she made it to the shoulder
And [Bm]the car ca[A]me to a stop
She[D] cried when s[A]he saw that baby in the backseat
[Bm]Sleeping lik[A]e a rock
And for [D]the first [A]time in a long time
Sh[Bm]e bowed her[A] head to pray
She said[G] I'm sorry f[D]or the way, I've been living my life
I[G] know I've got to ch[D]ange, so from now on tonight

Chorus

Jesus ta[A]ke the wheel
   E
Take it from my hands
Cause I can'[Bm]t do[A/C#] this [D]on my own
I'm let[A]ting go
Just give m[E]e one more chance
Save me fr[Bm]om t[A/C#]his r[D]oad I'm on
Oh Jesus t[A]ake [E]th[Bm]e wh[D]eel
Ohh I'm l[A]etting go
So give me [E]one more chance
Save me fr[Bm]om t[A/C#]his r[D]oad I'm on
From [Bm]this [A/C#]road [D]I'm on
Jesus ta[A]ke t[Bm]he wheel
[A]Oh, take[D] it, take[A] it from me
[Bm]Oh w[A]haaaa[Bm] oooo[A]h......
