F                          Am/E       C
The red lights mean you’re leaving
F                      Am/E     C
The white one’s mean returning
F                Am/E         C
Tell me how this story ends
F                        Am/E     C
And I’ll keep them fires burning

The headlights look like diamonds
The taillights burn like coals
Tell me how this story ends
Before the fires go cold

The countryside's deserted
There's no one on the farms
The suburbs all are sleeping
The earthquakes set off car alarms

F                Am/E  C
All after all now we aware
F                 Am/E      C
All after all the time we share
F               Am/E      C
There’s so much fears of world
Dm               Em
Types of world, tears of world
