Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

The traffic light

Waits for you to tell me the

 tale of a shattered life, tonight

And I just passed by when you have

 had the chance to fight

Or would you spend your last days alone

Thinkin nobody would have cared

 Or known just look me in the eye and see that its a light

 So you're telling me,

Chorus

 This is how you're going down

 You thought that I never really wanted you around

 Well you are way off track to think like that

 Coz now you have taken back,

 everything that you ever said

 Bout how Id never want to see you again

 Well this is what I, what I left behind

What I left behind, what I left behind

Verse 2

Need a change

 In a minute of my time did I get your name?

Well you say, that I haven't been

 asked that in years now I think,

the traffic light that stood in the way

 So that I can hear what you had to say

Im half way through your story

 Cant help thinking that you're just like me

Chorus

 This is how you're going down

 You thought that I never really wanted you around

 Well you are way off track to think like that

 Coz now you have taken back,

 everything that you ever said

 Bout how Id never want to see you again

 Well this is what I, what I left behind

 Forgetting about ourselves

 Is like history that dust is covering

 left on the shelf, on the shelf

 The crosswalks make the way for us to say what we need to say

Chorus

Yeah, this is how you're going down

 You thought that I never really wanted you around

 Well you are way off track to think like that

 Coz now you have taken back,

 everything that you ever said

 Bout how Id never want to see you again

 Well this is what I, what I left behind

(So your telling me)

(This is how you're going down)

 This is what I, what I left behind
