FF C majorC
She told herself it’s what she wanted
FF C majorC
Must’ve been late July, early August

She looked up the number and called it

Didn’t tell no one, they’d just try and stop it

She drove all the way
FF
To the clinic downtown
G+G
Then she either got brave
A minorAm
Or chickened out
♫ Chorus:
FF
I had a near death
G+G
A augmentedA near death experience
C majorC
Before I was born
FF
I made it out by the skin of my teeth
C majorC
And a break in the storm
G+G
She said shе was sure I’d be bettеr off
C majorC FF
‘Cause I needed things she just couldn’t provide
FF G+G
But here I am against whatever odds
FF
Speculating why she changed her mind
G+G
Maybe it was her, maybe it was God
FF
All I know is I’m glad to be alive
