	  		Chorus: 
A 
I thought the wreck was over 
A                      D 
I thought the fire was out 
  E7 
I thought the storm had passed and I was safe at last 
  E7                                             A 
I thought the wreck was over but here she comes again 
 
 
A 
Livin with her liked to killed me 
A                           D 
Living without her might as well 
   E 
At first I thought Id died and gone to Heaven 
   E                
In fact I had lived and gone to Hell 
 
 
Chorus 
 
 
They’ll tell you to expect the unexpected 
Nobody ever tells you where its hid 
I can’t tell you how many times she left me 
I lost count the very first time that she did 
 
 
Bridge: 
  E7 
I thought I’s movin fast and gettin stronger 
  E7 
I thought the coast is clearer 
     E7  
Till I looked into the mirror 
    E7  
And saw a set of skid marks gettin longer 
 
 
Chorus 
 
Solo 
 
I thought the storm had passed and I was safe at last 
I thought the wreck was over but here she comes again 
 
 
I thought the wreck was over
