Intro:
The traffic light
Waits for you to tell me the tale of a shattered life, tonight
And I just passed by when you have had the chance to fight
Or would you spend your last days alone
Thinking nobody would have cared
Db
Or known just look me in the eye and see that it's a light
Ab Eb
So you're telling me, this is how you're going down
Fm
You thought that I never really wanted you around
Db
Well, you are way off track to think like that
Eb Db Fm
'Cause now you have taken back everything that you ever said
Eb
About how I'd never want to see you again
Db
Well, this is what I, what I left behind
Ab Eb
What I left behind, what I left behind
Need a change
In a minute of my time, did I get your name?
Well, you say, that I haven't been asked that in years
Now I think, the traffic light that stood in the way
Db
So that I can hear what you had to say
I'm halfway through your story
Ab
Can't help thinking that you're just like me
Eb
This is how I'm going down
Fm
I thought that they never really wanted me around
Db
Well, I was way off track to think like that
Eb Db Fm
'Cause now I've taken back everything that I ever said
Eb
About how they'd never want to see me again
Db
Well, this is what I, what I left behind
Bbm Db
Forgetting about ourselves
Fm Eb Db
Is like history that dust is covering left on the shelf, on the shelf
Eb
The crosswalks make the way for us to say what we need to say
Ab Eb
Yeah , this is how you're going down
Fm
You thought that I never really wanted you around
Db
Well, you are way off track to think like that
Eb Db Fm
'Cause now you have taken back everything that you ever said
Eb
About how I'd never want to see you again
Db
Well, this is what I, what I left behind
Fm
So you're telling me
this is how you're going down
Eb Db
this is what I, what I left behind
