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
