Em                               B
A guy I went to school with got hit by a car yesterday
           D                              Em
We weren't even friends but it still hit me in the same way
      C                                  Em
And it had me thinking if that night I'd walked the same street
                 C                      B
It could've been me, that could've been me

       Em                        B
And at two AM, his parents get a call from the cops
          D                               Em
"Cause of death was a drunk driver, we're sorry for your loss"
       C                              Em
Can't imagine what it must be like to bury the kid
             C                        B
You're gonna outlive, you're gonna outlive


[Chorus]
         Am                     Em
You just never know when you're gonna go
                   B7
I'm scared that my time will come
                  Em       D
And they'll say I was too young
       Am                Em
Now I lay in bed, all up in my head
         F#m                             B
Thinking about leaving this world behind
                N.C.
I don't want to die

Em                     Bm
And be a body ten feet under the ground
     D                              C#m
Everyone I love gets used to me not being around
        C                                Am
Life is finally getting good, I know one day that it'll end
                  C                         B
But don't take me yet, please don't take me yet

         Am                     Em
You just never know when you're gonna go
                   B7
I'm scared that my time will come
                   Em
And there'll be so much that I still haven't done

      Am                 Em
Now I lay in bed, all up in my head
          F#m
Thinking about not getting to say goodbye
                N.C.
I don't want to die


[Bridge]
N.C.
I don't, I don't

I don't, I don't, I don't want to die

I don't, I don't, I don't want to—


[Outro]
Em                                      B
I turned on the news this morning and I looked at his face
        D                                  Am
Guess I never really thought someone could die at our age
     C                                    Em
So I call my family, all the friends that I haven't seen
                   C        N.C.
That could've been me, that could've been me
