Chorus:
[A]I thought the wreck was over
[A]I thought the fire was [D]out
I [E7]thought the storm had passed and I was safe at last
I [E7]thought the wreck was over but here she comes a[A]gain
[A]Livin with her liked to killed me
[A]Living without her might as [D]well
At [E]first I thought Id died and gone to Heaven
In [E]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:
I [E7]thought I's movin fast and gettin stronger
I [E7]thought the coast is clearer
Till [E7]I looked into the mirror
And [E7]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
