    D 
There's a little girl I want to make her mine  
                                              G/B    C9 
What she wants I don't know 
     D 
If red means stop and green means go  
                                       C          G 
Her light is always yellow 
 
I'm wrapped around her finger  
 
She's slipping through my hands 
A 
Everytime I think I got her, I gotta think again 
            D                                 G/B  C9                       D 
          G     C    G  
c. I'm holding on the something                  that keeps letting me go 
G             D                          G/B  C9             D             G 
         C     G 
Just a whole lot of heartache                 at the end of my rope 
   A 
I Fall a little harder everytime I drop 
C9                                   G  
But I keep reaching cause I just can't stop 
D                                  C              G               D 
Holding on to something, that keeps letting me go 
C9    D 
She calls me on the phone says she's all alone 
                                      G/B  C9 
Feeling kind of lonely 
          D 
Said she can't wait said don't be late  
                                         C     G 
I promise her I won't be 
    
Ten minutes later I'm standing at her door 
            A 
She's saying never mind I ain't lonely anymore
