Red Light Blues

RED LIGHT BLUES
MLL

Intro: E A (walk down) B

E A E
I pulled up to a red light, the only one in my hometown
A E
I was waitin’ for the light to change my eyes were lookin’ down
B A
I got this strange feelin’ that somebody was watchin’ me
E B
So I looked in the mirror not sure who I’d see

E A E
In the car behind me sat a woman and a man
A E
She looked so familiar and he looked like an old friend
B A
All at once it hit me and a tear came to my eyes
E B E
He used to be a friend of mine she used to be my wife

A
The light turned green but I couldn’t move
e
I leaned against the door, thinkin’,
A E
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
A
All my life it’s been the same
E B E
Waitin’ for the lights to change now I’m sittin’ here
E B
With these red light blues

I looked back in the mirror saw her smile and wave hello
I noticed as I turned around he was begging her to go
I could see it in her eyes the way she looked at him
She still had the memory of the way it was back then

Or maybe in my mind that’s just what I wanted to see
Cause lately I’ve been cryin’ over all those memories
And seeing her alone with him is tearing me apart
And staring at this red light won’t change this broken heart
(Chorus and chorus tag line)
