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

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
