Traffic Light

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
    C#5
Or known just look me in the eye and see that it's a light
                 G#                             D#
So you're telling me, this is how you're going down
                                          Fm
You thought that I never really wanted you around
                                  C#
Well, you are way off track to think like that
        D#                 C#                           Fm
'Cause now you have taken back everything that you ever said
                                     D#
About how I'd never want to see you again
       C#
Well, this is what I, what I left behind
G#             D#
  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
                                    C#5
So that I can hear what you had to say
I'm halfway through your story
                                          G#
Can't help thinking that you're just like me
                        D#
This is how I'm going down
                                        Fm
I thought that they never really wanted me around
                              C#
Well, I was way off track to think like that
        D#              C#                         Fm
'Cause now I've taken back everything that I ever said
                                       D#
About how they'd never want to see me again
       C#
Well, this is what I, what I left behind
A#m                       C#
   Forgetting about ourselves
                      Fm                                D#       C#
Is like history that dust is covering left on the shelf, on the shelf
                        D#
The crosswalks make the way for us to say what we need to say
G#                             D#
   Yeah , this is how you're going down
                                          Fm
You thought that I never really wanted you around
                                  C#
Well, you are way off track to think like that
        D#                 C#                           Fm
'Cause now you have taken back everything that you ever said
                                     D#
About how I'd never want to see you again
       C#
Well, this is what I, what I left behind
                  Fm
So you're telling me
this is how you're going down
D#               C#
this is what I, what I left behind
