Intro
Verse 1
F#m B7sus2 F#m7+5 F#m9+5
Girl of sixteen whole life ahead of her,
Slashed her wrists, bored with life.
Didn't succeed, thank the Lord,
for small mercies.
Interlude
Verse 2
F#m B7sus2 F#m7+5 F#m9+5
Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again,
Sixteen candles burn in her mind.
She takes the blame, it's always the same,
she goes down on her knees and prays.
Interlude
Chorus
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours, but I
think that God's got a sick sense of humour, and
when I die, I expect to find Him laughing.
Interlude
Verse 3
F#m B7sus2 F#m7+5 F#m9+5
Girl of eighteen, fell in love with everything,
Found new life in Jesus Christ.
Hit by a car, ended up
On a life support machine.
Interlude
Verse 4
F#m B7sus2 F#m7+5 F#m9+5
Summer's day, as she passed away,
Birds were singing in the summer sky.
Then came the rain, and once again,
a tear fell from her mother's eye.
[Chorus] (repeat to fade)
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours, but I
think that God's got a sick sense of humour, and
when I die, I expect to find Him laughing.
