Capo 1

Verse 1
G5
The traffic light

Waits for you to tell me the 
                    E5
tale of a shattered life, tonight

And I just passed by when you have 
                  D5
had the chance to fight

Or would you spend your last days alone

Thinkin nobody would have cared
   C5
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
                         D5
This is how you're going down
                                      E5
You thought that I never really wanted you around
                              G5
Well you are way off track to think like that
    D5                  C5
Coz now you have taken back, 
                         E5
everything that you ever said
                                  D5
Bout how Id never want to see you again
     C5
Well this is what I, what I left behind

G5                E5
    What I left behind, what I left behind

Verse 2
G5
Need a change
                                       E5
In a minute of my time did I get your name?
                                   
Well you say, that I haven't been 
                          D5
asked that in years now I think, 
                                    
the traffic light that stood in the way
                                   C5
So that I can hear what you had to say

Im half way through your story
                               D5         G5
Cant help thinking that you're just like me


Chorus
                         D5
This is how you're going down
                                      E5
You thought that I never really wanted you around
                              G5
Well you are way off track to think like that
    D5                  C5
Coz now you have taken back, 
                         E5
everything that you ever said
                                  D5
Bout how Id never want to see you again
     C5                           A5
Well this is what I, what I left behind


                    C5
Forgetting about ourselves
                     E5
Is like history that dust is covering 
                   D5       C5
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
G5                              D5
Yeah, this is how you're going down
                                      E5
You thought that I never really wanted you around
                              G5
Well you are way off track to think like that
    D5                  C5
Coz now you have taken back, 
                         E5
everything that you ever said
                                  D5
Bout how Id never want to see you again
     C5                            E5
Well this is what I, what I left behind 
                  (So your telling me)
            
(This is how you're going down)
 C5
This is what I, what I left behind
