              Intro: D 
 
                  G      A     D 
You got the last of all your stuff 
             G     A     D 
You got your car cranked up 
       G                 A                A7 
And I guess there ain't a thing that I can say 
                G       A      D 
I'm thinking as I'm standing here 
               G     A       D 
And suddenly it all comes clear 
     G        A        A7 
As I watch you drive away 
 
                      G     A       D 
They should have made tail lights blue 
           G    A   D 
So when I see them go 
                G   A   D 
They'll look the way I do 
       A7 
Just a pale blue glow 
                     G   A      D 
They should have made I can't stay 
           G   A   A7 
Sound like I love you 
                          G     A    A7      D 
You know they should have made tail lights blue 
 
                  G    A    D 
I know its gonna take some time 
            G   A   D 
To get you off my mind 
      G        A           A7 
And forget how happy we once were 
                    G     A    D 
I don't know how to bring you back 
          G   A      D 
And as a matter of fact 
       G         A        A7 
The only thing I know for sure 
 
                              G     A       D 
Is that they should have made tail lights blue 
           G    A   D 
So when I see them go 
                G   A   D 
They'll look the way I do 
       A7 
Just a pale blue glow 
                     G   A      D 
They should have made I can't stay 
           G   A   A7 
Sound like I love you 
                          G     A    A7      D 
You know they should have made tail lights blue 
 
( G A D ) (2x) 
 
( G A A7 ) 
  
                      G     A       D 
They should have made tail lights blue 
           G    A   D 
So when I see them go 
                G   A   D 
They'll look the way I do 
       A7 
Just a pale blue glow 
                     G   A      D 
They should have made I can't stay 
           G   A   A7 
Sound like I love you 
                          G     A    A7      D     ( D ) 
You know they should have made tail lights blue
