verse 1 
G5 
    It's raining in my coffee cup, 
G5                                  Cadd9  Csus2  Cadd9  Csus2 
    Coming down since I got up to - day, 
          G5 
Cold and grey, 
G5 
    Looking in my rear view mirror, I could be anywhere, 
G5             Cadd9  Csus2  Cadd9  Csus2 
    But here I am, 
         G5   Gsus2  G5  Gsus2  G5 
Traffic jam! 


verse 2 
D                     D4     D 
   All these people without names, 
D4  D                D4       D   G/B   Cadd9 
       Every day we face the same rou - tine, 
   C                           G      G9    G4    G 
Waiting for the light to turn ...green----! 


verse 3 
G5 
    The lady in the blue Sedan, 
G5                                       Cadd9  Csus2  Cadd9  Csus2 
    Combs her hair and steals a glance at me, 
        G5   Gsus2  G5  Gsus2 
Who is she? 
G5 
    Does anybody hold her tight, 
G5                                           Cadd9  Csus2  Cadd9  Csus2 
    Or does she spend her days and nights at home, 
          G5   Gsus2  G5  Gsus2  G5 
All a - lone? 


verse 4 
D                    D4     D 
   And over in the passing zone, 
D4  D                       D4         D  G/B    Cadd9 
       All wrapped up in - side their own day - dreams, 
          C                            G         G9    G4    G 
They're waiting for the light to turn  ...green, 
D                 D4    D 
   Do they wonder who I am? 
D4  D                   D4        D  G/B   Cadd9 
       Do they know I'm not some damn ma - chine? 
   C                           G5 
Waiting for the light to turn   ...green!

D4  D                   D4       D   G/B  Cadd9 
        Running out of time and gas - o - line,

Waiting for the light to turn ...green----!

Waiting for the light----     ...to turn ...green----!
