Lyrics

She was driv 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 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 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.

She was (Gsus2)so scared.

She threw her (D)hands up in the air:

(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.”

Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
