G
I had a friend
CG
He didn't make it home last night
CG
He went out on the town
CGC
He had himself a time
DCG
When it was time for leaving, he was much too tight
DCG
He climbed behind the wheel and it cost him his life
EmDG
He thought he knew better, and the odds he could beat
CD
He said, "I'll make it alright, don't you worry for me"
[Chorus]
G
It can't
DCG
It can't happen to me, I got an angel watching over me It can't
DCG
It can't happen to me, It's always someone else, you see, It can't
DC
Can't happen to me, It can't happen to me
[Verse 2]
G
Well, I knew a young man
CG
He had it all going his way
CG
But he carried with him
CGC
A deep seeded pain
DCG
He stepped over the line to find some escape
DCG
They found him one night, Lying face down in the rain
EmDG
He thought he was stronger and the odds he could beat
CD
He said, "I'll be alright, don't you worry for me"
[Chorus]
G
It can't
DCG
It can't happen to me, I got an angel watching over me It can't
DCG
It can't happen to me, It's always someone else, you see, It can't
DC
Can't happen to me, It can't happen to me
[Bridge]
DCG
I wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard it said
DCG
"They'll never get to me, cause I'm quicker than the rest"
DCEm
The night is closing in and the hounds are at my heels
CDDDDDDDDD
But, I'm always one step ahead
[Chorus]
G
It can't
DCG
It can't happen to me, I got an angel watching over me It can't
DCG
It can't happen to me, It's always someone else, you see, It can't
DC
Can't happen to me, It can't happen to me
G
No, No, No It Can't
DC
It can't happen to me
G
I've got an angel watching over me
