G
I had a friend
C                 G
He didn't make it home last night
C                  G
He went out on the town
C                G     C
He had himself a time
D                                    C        G
When it was time for leaving, he was much too tight
D                                  C            G
He climbed behind the wheel and it cost him his life
   Em                              D             G
He thought he knew better, and the odds he could beat
               C                          D
He said, "I'll make it alright, don't you worry for me"

[Chorus]
   G
It can't
   D               C                                       G
It can't happen to me,  I got an angel watching over me It can't
   D               C                                          G
It can't happen to me, It's always someone else, you see,  It can't
D               C
Can't happen to me,  It can't happen to me

[Verse 2]
               G
Well, I knew a young man
C                   G
He had it all going his way
C              G
But he carried with him
C             G     C
A deep seeded pain
           D                C           G
He stepped over the line to find some escape
     D                          C                G
They found him one night, Lying face down in the rain
   Em                              D             G
He thought he was stronger and the odds he could beat
               C                     D
He said, "I'll be alright, don't you worry for me"

[Chorus]
  G
It can't
   D               C                                       G
It can't happen to me,  I got an angel watching over me It can't
   D               C                                          G
It can't happen to me, It's always someone else, you see,  It can't
D               C
Can't happen to me,  It can't happen to me

[Bridge]
  D                             C                  G
I wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard it said
         D                          C                G
"They'll never get to me, cause I'm quicker than the rest"
    D                           C                Em
The night is closing in and the hounds are at my heels
         C                  D D D D D D D D D
But, I'm always one step ahead

[Chorus]
  G
It can't
   D               C                                       G
It can't happen to me,  I got an angel watching over me It can't
   D               C                                          G
It can't happen to me, It's always someone else, you see,  It can't
D               C
Can't happen to me,  It can't happen to me
           G
No, No, No It Can't
   D               C
It can't happen to me
                                    G
I've got an angel watching over me
