Verse 1:
          E                B
There's a man dying on the side of the road,
A                    B
Won't make it home tonight.
       E                   B
He was driving fast on his cellular phone,
A                       B
That's how he lived his life.
E            B            A
While he was hangin' by a thread
               B              E
these were the final words he said

Chorus:
E              B             A
My girl turns sweet sixteen today,
                 B
She's beautiful, so beautiful.
E            B
It might get rough sometimes
      A
but I hope she keeps her faith.
E        B                   S
I wish I grabbed a chance to say to her
            E                 B              A
Life is too short so take the time and appreciate

Verse 2:
There's a women crying on the kitchen floor,
She got a call tonight.
Now she's trembling outside her daughter�s door
Walks in and holds her tight
Wondering how and where to start,
Is there a way to shield her heart?

Chorus:
My girl turns sweet sixteen today,
She's beautiful, so beautiful.
It might get rough sometimes but I hope she keeps her faith.(hope she keeps her faith)
I wish I grabbed the chance to say to her
Life is too short so take the time and appreciate

Bridge:
A         E
Any but a loving way
   B               A
It heard along the way
                   E
Don't be afraid to open up
    B                               A
And use the time you have before it fades
B         A
Show your love today

My girl turns sweet sixteen today,
She's beautiful, so beautiful.
it might get rough sometimes
but I hope she keeps her faith.(hope she keeps her faith)
I wish I grabbed
chance to say to her
Life is too short so take the time and appreciate.
Life is too short so take the time and appreciate
