Traffic Light

[G]The traffic light

Waits for you to tell me the
tale of a shattered [Em]life, tonight

And I just passed by when you have
had the chance to [D]fight

Or would you spend your last days alone

Thinkin nobody would have cared
Or [C]known just look me in the eye and see that its a light
So you're [D]telling [G]me,

This is how you're going [D]down
You thought that I never really wanted[Em] you around
Well you are way off track to [G]think like that
Coz [D]now you have taken [C]back,
everything that you ever [Em]said
Bout how Id never want to see you [D]again
Well [C]this is what I, what I left behind

[G]    What I left b[Em]ehind, what I left behind

[G]Need a change
In a minute of my time did I get your n[Em]ame?

Well you say, that I haven't been
asked that in years now I [D]think,

the traffic light that stood in the way
So that I can hear what you had to [C]say

Im half way through your story
Cant help thinking that you're [D]just like [G]me

This is how you're going [D]down
You thought that I never really wanted[Em] you around
Well you are way off track to [G]think like that
Coz [D]now you have taken [C]back,
everything that you ever [Em]said
Bout how Id never want to see you [D]again
Well [C]this is what I, what I left [Am]behind

Forgetting about our[C]selves
Is like history that [Em]dust is covering
left on the shelf, [D]on the s[C]helf
The crosswalks make the [D]way for us to say what we need to say

[G]Yeah, this is how you're going [D]down
You thought that I never really wanted[Em] you around
Well you are way off track to [G]think like that
Coz [D]now you have taken [C]back,
everything that you ever [Em]said
Bout how Id never want to see you [D]again
Well [C]this is what I, what I left b[Em]ehind
                  (So your telling me)

(This is how you're going down)
T[C]his is what I, what I left behind
