Intro: F Am G
F Am
Lovin' him is like, drivin' a new Maserati
G
Down a dead end street
F Am
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin
G
Ended so suddenly
F
Loving him is like, tryin' to change your mind
Am G
Once you're already flying through the free fall
F Am
Like the colors in autumn so bright
G
Just before they lose it all
F C
Losing him was blue, like I'd never known
G
Missing him was dark grey, all alone

Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody

You never met
F
But loving him was red

Was right there in front of you
F Am
Memorizing him was as, easy as knowin' all the words
G
To your old favorite song
F
Fighting with him was like tryin' to solve a
Am G
Crossword and realizing there's no right answer

But love could be that strong

Burnin' red, re ee ed, re ee ed
