Daughtry - Traffic Light Chords & Tabs

Capo 1

Verse 1
G
The traffic light

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

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

Or would you spend your last days alone

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

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

G                Em
    What I left behind, what I left behind

Verse 2
G
Need a change
                                       Em
In a minute of my time did I get your name?
                                   
Well you say, that I haven't been 
                          D
asked that in years now I think, 
                                    
the traffic light that stood in the way
                                   C
So that I can hear what you had to say

Cant help thinking that you're just like me

Well this is what I, what I left behind


                    C
Forgetting about ourselves
                     Em
Is like history that dust is covering 
                   D       C
left on the shelf, on the shelf
                        D (single strum)
The crosswalks make the way for us to say what we need to say
 

Chorus
G                              D

                                      Em
