G                  D
I said don't do it babe
              E
Said it ain't worth it babe
               A
But you did it anyway
E
Four or five drinks and you were on your way

G          D      A
September 1st, 2003
             E                G
It took the life right out of me
           D
Hung up the phone
                  A
And raced out the door
E
Broken
G              D                  A
I tried to believe that it wasn't true
          E              G
But in my heart I always knew
               D                       A           E
That being the life of the party would catch up to you

F                                      Am
Your family was waiting and crying for three damn hours

G                  D
I said don't do it babe
              E
Said it ain't worth it babe
               A
But you did it anyway
E                                A
Four or five drinks and you were on your way
F                          G
Everything was cool on the straight away
Am                           F                E
But you took that turn doing eighty-five in a thirty-five
Em
Why babe?

G              D                A
Every time I'm home I pass that road
        E                          G
Driving alone and the street feels cold
            D                       A
Seeing your face yeah it's haunting me
             E                      G
My mind goes crazy tryin' to figure out
                 D                  A
Just where you'd be four years from now
                  E                 G            A
And what you were thinking when the lights came down

F                                   Am
Doctors were trying to save you for three damn hours

G                  D
I said don't do it babe
              E
Said it ain't worth it babe
               A

But you took that turn doing eighty-five in a thirty-five
Em
Why babe?

Am                          F
Who ever said that life was fair
                        Am
When you live without a care
               F
When you're invincible
When you're invincible
Am
When you're invincible
    F            Em
Who thinks about leaving when you're livin'

G                  D
I said don't do it babe
              E
Said it ain't worth it babe
