Gretchen Peters Waiting For The Light written by Gretchen Peters
[Verse]
A
It's raining in my coffee cup
D
Comin down since I got up today
A
Cold and gray
A
And lookin in my rear view mirror
D
I could be anywhere but here I am
A
Traffic jam
E
All these people without names
D
Every day we face the same routine
A
Waiting for the light to turn green
A
The lady in the blue sedan
A D
Combs her hair and steals a glance at me
A
Who is she
A
Does anybody hold her tight
A D A
Or does she spend her days and nights at home all alone
E
And over in the passing zone
E D
All wrapped up inside their own daydreams
A
They're waiting for the light to turn green
E
Do they wonder who I am
D
Do they know I'm not some dam machine
A
Waiting for the light to turn green
[Solo]
A
What about the love I long for
D
What about the child I want someday
A
Where are they
A
What about my hearts desire
A D
What about these four bald tires I'm on
A
How long
E
I've been going nowhere fast
D
Running out of time and gasoline
A
Waiting for the light to turn green
E
I'll be damned if I'll grow old
D
Waiting for the wheels to roll not me
A
Waiting for the light to turn green
A
It's raining in my coffee cup
D A
Comin down since I got up today
