She was driv (D)lot ing last Fri day (A)on her way to Cin cin nat i on a (Bm7)snow white Christ mas (A)Eve,
go ing home to (A)see her mom ma and her dad dy with the (A)ba by in the back sheet of seat.
Fif teen (D)miles to go, and (A)she was run ning low on (Bm7)faith and gas o (A)line.
It’d been a (Gsus2)long hard year.
She had a (D)lot on her mind, day (A)and she did n’t pay at ten tion.
She was (Bm7)go ing way too (A)fast;
and be fore to (A)she her knew it, she was spin ning on a (A)thin by black the back sheet of glass.
She saw (D)both their lives flash (A)she be fore her eyes; on (Bm7)faith and gas o (A)line.
It’d been a (Gsus2)long hard year.
She had a she did n’t e ven (A)have time to cry.

(D)“Je sus, take the wheel;
take it from my hands,
’cause I can’t do this on (A)my own.
I’m a let ting go;
so give me one more chance,
save me from this road (A)I’m on.
Je sus, take the wheel.”
It was still get ting cold er (A)when she made it to the shoul der and the (Bm7)car came to a (A)stop;
and she cried when she saw (A)that ba by in the back seat, (Bm7)sleep ing like a (A)rock.
And for the first time in (A)a long time, she (Bm7)bowed her head to (A)pray.
She said, “I’m (Gsus2)sor ry for the way
(D)I’ve been liv ing my life;
I (Gsus2)know I’ve got to change.
So from (D)now on, to night,
(D)Je sus, take the wheel;
Oh, Je sus take the wheel.”
“Oh, I’m a let ting go;
so give me one more chance, save me from this road (A)I’m on,
from this (Bm)road (A)I’m on.
Je sus, take the wheel.
(A)Oh, take it, (D)take it from (A)me.”
(A)Oh, take it, (D)take it from (A)me.”
