Freight Trains and Neon Lights
Verse
[Dm] [Dm7] [Dm]
He put out a hand to reassure
[G] [D]
Their eyes met and the world dissolved
[Dm]
Just like the poets talk about…
[Am] [Dm]
He turned around and walked straight out
Chorus
[Dm] [Dm7] [Gm]
She saw a red flag, a bad sign
[Gm] [A] [C] [Dm]
Flashing neon scarlett light
Verse
[Dm]
She just stood there in a daze
[Gm] [Dm]
Left alone to stand and gaze
[Dm7] [Dm]
An echo chamber in her head
[Dm] [A] [Dm]
Nothing normal could be said
Chorus
[Dm] [Dm7] [Gm]
She saw a red flag, a bad sign
[Gm] [A] [C] [Dm]
Flashing neon scarlett light
Bridge
[Dm]
How could she know where it could go
[Gm] [Dm]
How could she know what he could
[Am]
Do?
[A]
How could she know if it would all come through?
Verse
[Dm]
Not ready, willing or able?
[C] [Gm] [Dm]
Needed to check once and for all
[Am]
Give him a chance to make it clear
[Am] [Dm]
A line or two, then didnt hear
Chorus
[Dm] [Dm7] [Gm]
She saw a red flag, a bad sign
[Gm] [A] [C] [Dm]
Flashing neon scarlett light
Verse
[Dm] [Dm]
Heart open, burning fear rushed in
[Gm]
(He called ‘misunderstanding’)
[Dm]
That helped to fill all the blanks in
[A] [Gm] [Dm7]
And that’s when she started to run
Chorus
[Dm] [Dm7] [Gm]
She saw a red flag, a bad sign
[Gm] [A] [C] [Dm]
Flashing neon scarlett light
Verse
[Dm]
Already far too late by then
[Dm]
All channels now fully open
[Gm]
Thoughts hammer like great freight train
[Dm]
Round and round and back again
Chorus
[Dm] [Dm7] [Gm]
She saw a red flag, a bad sign
[Gm] [A] [C] [Dm]
Flashing neon scarlett light
Verse
[Dm]
She had to hold herself down
[Dm]
Into his arms she could be thrown
[Gm]
Feet got stuck into the ground
[Dm]
Watch it all get turned around
Chorus
[Dm] [Dm7] [Gm]
She saw a red flag, a bad sign
[Gm] [A] [C] [Dm]
Flashing neon scarlett light
Bridge
[Dm]
How could she know where it would go
[Gm] [Dm] [Am]
How could she know what he could do?
[A]
How could she know if it would all come through?
Chorus
[Dm] [Dm7] [Gm]
She saw a red flag, a bad sign
[Gm] [A] [C] [Dm]
Flashing neon scarlett light
