Red Light, Spells danger,

You took my heart and turned me on
[F]
And now the danger sign is on
[C]
I never thought the day would come

When I would feel alone without you
[Am]

Calling out his mama's name,

You got me on a ball and chain,
[G]
Doin' things that I don't want to.

Hold on, heaven guide me...
