D              G
 A serious car wreck

D           G
 A bad fall from a cliff

D                    G
 And the raging blue river once took me

       A
From a raft in Breckenridge
[Verse 2]

 Been held up in New Orleans

 Strung out in Stockholm

 And I've slept out on those cold cold streets

   A
Of New York City alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm        F#m       D                 Bm
I can't explain why I'm still here today

I'm just thankful that I am

         D         G     A           D
Yeah and I have survived more than I should

  G            A        Bm  D           A
I pushed it as far as I could, reaching for the sky
[Chorus]
    D                  G    A         D
And I've walked on the edge more than most

Heaven knows I've cut it close

         A          Bm      D
But I'm alive after all that I have done

It's you    that makes me the lucky one

 My heart has been broken

 By love and by death

D                   G
 And I been down on my bad knees

          A
Prayin' to Jesus for devils breath
[Verse 4]
D                     G
 And I've lost all my money

 You know faith and beliefs

 Still the world around me

Showed nothing but sympathy
[Pre-Chorus]

I thank God you still think that I'm the one

I pushed it as far as I could, reaching for the sky
