C G
There's a man dying on the side of the road
Am G
Won't make it home tonight
C G
He was driving fast on his cellular phone
Am G
That's how he lived his life
C G Am
While he was hangin' by a thread
G C
these were the final words he said
[Chorus]
C G Am
My girl turns sweet sixteen today
G
She's beautiful so beautiful
C G
It might get rough sometimes
Am
but I hope she keeps her faith
C G Am G
I wish I grabbed a chance to say to her
C G Am
Life is too short so take the time and appreciate
[Verse 2]
C G
There's a women crying on the kitchen floor
Am G
She got a call tonight
C G
Now she's trembling outside her daughter's door
Am G
Walks in and holds her tight
C G Am
Wondering how and where to start
G C
Is there a way to shield her heart
[Chorus]
C G Am
My girl turns sweet sixteen today
G
She's beautiful so beautiful
C G
It might get rough sometimes
Am
but I hope she keeps her faith
C G Am G
I wish I grabbed a chance to say to her
C G Am
Life is too short so take the time and appreciate
[Bridge]
Am C
Anybody loving will
G Am
get hurt along the way

Don't be afraid to open up
G Am
And use the time you have before it fades
G Am
Show your love today
[Chorus]
C G Am
My girl turns sweet sixteen today
G
She's beautiful so beautiful
C G
It might get rough sometimes
Am
but I hope she keeps her faith
C G Am G
I wish I grabbed a chance to say to her

Life is too short so take the time and appreciate
