E B I-65 F# G#m Your hand on my leg while your other hand drives E B You glance to the side F# G#m I’d tell you to focus, you’d swerve to the right E B That’s how it used to be F# G#m You’d look at me before you’d turn the key E B But now I can’t help but think F# G#m That maybe you fell out of love with me Chorus: E B ‘Cause you keep your eyes on the road F# G#m Both hands on the wheel, you never let go E B You don’t like to talk to me when F# G#m Your foot’s on the gas, say you’re focusing E B I wish we would stop at a red F# G#m And you’d turn to say, you love me again E B But you keep your eyes on the road F# G#m No matter what color the traffic lights glow I used to hope All the lights would be red or yellow Now I hope for green So I can pretend that's why you ignore me You don’t wanna talk When I get in, you turn the music up But I still buckle up I’m holding on but I think that you're done Chorus: ’Cause you keep your eyes on the road Both hands on the wheel, you never let go You don't like to talk to me when your foot's on the gas Say you're focusing I wish we would stop at a red, and you’d turn to say You love me again But you keep your eyes on the road No matter what color the traffic lights glow E B Every time that you pull up in the drive F# G#m I get in your car and think “Is this the last time?” E B I’m holding my breath in the passenger’s side F# G#m Your safe driving has me scared for my life Chorus: 'Cause you keep your eyes on the road Both hands on the wheel, you never let go You don't like to talk to me when your foot's on the gas Say you're focusing I wish we would stop at a red, and you'd turn to say You love me again But you keep your eyes on the road No matter what color the traffic lights glow No matter what color the traffic lights glow No matter what color the traffic lights glow You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsB E F# G#m Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
