Verse 1:
Em                  G                 C 
   I do my makeup in somebody else’s car
Em                    G                    C 
   We order different drinks at the same bars
Em                          G                          C 
   I know about what you did and I wanna scream the truth
Em                         G                           C 
   She thinks you love the beach, you’re such a damn liar


Refrain 1:
D                                          
   Those great whites, they have big teeth
C               
   Oh they bite you
Em                                              D                        
   Thought you said that you would always be in love, but you’re not in love
      C 
   No more, did it frighten you?
Em                                              D
   How we kissed when we danced on the light up floor, on the light up floor

Pre-Chorus 1:
F                 C              G
   But I hear the sounds in my mind
F              C            G
   Brand new sounds in my mind
              F              C            G
   But honey I’ll be seein’ you ’ever, I go
              F              C              G
   But honey I’ll be seein’ you down every road
  (I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it)


Chorus 1:
                 F                 C                     G
   ’Cause honey I’ll come get my things but I can’t let go
   (I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it)
             F                C                  G
   Oh I wish I could get my things and just let go
   (I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it)


Verse 2:
Em                       G                C
   Sometimes I wake up in a different bedroom
Em                       G                        C
   I whisper things, the city sings them back to you


Refrain 2:
D                                          
   All those rumors, they have big teeth
C               
   Oh they bite you
Em                                              D                        
   Thought you said that you would always be in love, but you’re not in love
      C 
   No more, did it frighten you?
Em                                              D
   How we kissed when we danced on the light up floor, on the light up floor


Pre-Chorus 2:
F                 C              G
   But I hear the sounds in my mind
F              C            G
   Brand new sounds in my mind
              F              C            G
   But honey I’ll be seein’ you ’ever, I go
              F              C              G
   But honey I’ll be seein’ you down every road

  (I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it)


Chorus 2:
                 F                 C                     G
   ’Cause honey I’ll come get my things but I can’t let go
   (I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it)
             F                 C                     G
   Oh honey I’ll come get my things but I can’t let go
   (I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it)
              F                 C                     G
   Yes honey I’ll come get my things but I can’t let go
   (I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it)
             F                C                  G
   Oh I wish I could get my things and just let go
   (I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it)
