Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

🎸 Intro:

C   G   D   Em



🎸 Verse 1:
C  G
I-65
      D                         Em
Your hand on my leg while your other hand drives
C                   G
You glance to the side
     D                         Em
I’d tell you to focus, you’d swerve to the right

C               G
That’s how it used to be
       D                       Em
You’d look at me before you’d turn the key
     C           G
But now I can’t help but think
      D                     Em
That maybe you fell out of love with me

🎸 Chorus:
        C                          G
‘Cause you keep your eyes on the road
                    D                  Em
Both hands on the wheel, you never let go
      C                       G
You don’t like to talk to me when
                    D                   Em
Your foot’s on the gas, say you’re focusing

    C                      G
I wish we would stop at a red
                   D                 Em
And you’d turn to say, you love me again
     C                          G
But you keep your eyes on the road
               D                         Em
No matter what color the traffic lights glow

🎸 Verse 2:
C            G
  I used to hope
          D                     Em
All the lights would be red or yellow
C                  G
  Now I hope for green
   D                     Em      D      C
So I can pretend that’s why you ignore me

          G
You don’t wanna talk
     D                      Em
When I get in, you turn the music up
    C        G
But I still buckle up
      D                     Em
I’m holding on but I think that you’re done

🎸 Chorus:
        C                          G
‘Cause you keep your eyes on the road
                    D                  Em
Both hands on the wheel, you never let go
      C                       G
You don’t like to talk to me when
                    D                   Em
Your foot’s on the gas, say you’re focusing

    C                      G
I wish we would stop at a red
                   D                 Em
And you’d turn to say, you love me again
     C                          G
But you keep your eyes on the road
               D                         Em
No matter what color the traffic lights glow

🎸 Bridge:
C                        G
Every time that you pull up in the drive
   D                         Em
I get in your car and think “Is this the last time?”
     C                        G
I’m holding my breath in the passenger’s side
      D                   Em
Your safe driving has me scared for my life

🎸 Chorus:
        C                          G
‘Cause you keep your eyes on the road
                    D                  Em
Both hands on the wheel, you never let go
      C                       G
You don’t like to talk to me when
                    D                   Em
Your foot’s on the gas, say you’re focusing

    C                      G
I wish we would stop at a red
                   D                 Em
And you’d turn to say, you love me again
     C                          G
But you keep your eyes on the road
               D                         Em
No matter what color the traffic lights glow
C            G             D                     Em
   No matter    what color   the traffic lights glow
C            G             D                     Em
   No matter    what color   the traffic lights glow
